Abstract
We compute the structure of the cohomology ring for the quantized enveloping algebra (quantum group) $U_q$ associated to a finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We show that the cohomology ring is generated as an exterior algebra by homogeneous elements in the same odd degrees as generate the cohomology ring for the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Partial results are also obtained for the cohomology rings of the non-restricted quantum groups obtained from $U_q$ by specializing the parameter $q$ to a non-zero value $\epsilon \in \mathbb{C}$.
