We prove a homological version of the local-global principle similar to the one of J.Bertin, A. Mezard. Let G be a cyclic subgroup of the group of automorphisms of a curve X, so that the order of G is equal to the characteristic. By using the results of S. Nakajima on the Galois module structure of the space of 2-holomorphic differentials, we compute the dimension of the tangent space of the deformation functor}, issn = {0022-4049}, number = {2} }
