Abstract: Let zeta be a complex ellth root of unity for an odd integer ell>1. For any complex simple Lie algebra mathfrakg, let uzeta=uzeta(mathfrakg) be the associated "small" quantum enveloping algebra. In general, little is known about the representation theory of quantum groups (resp., algebraic groups) when l (resp., p) is smaller than the Coxeter number h of the underlying root system. For example, Lusztig's conjecture concerning the characters of the rational irreducible G-modules stipulates that pgeqh. The main result in this paper provides a surprisingly uniform answer for the cohomology algebra of the small quantum group. When ell>h, this cohomology algebra has been calculated by Ginzburg and Kumar cite{GK}. Our result requires powerful tools from complex geometry and a detailed knowledge of the geometry of the nullcone of mathfrakg. In this way, the methods point out difficulties present in obtaining similar results for the restricted enveloping algebra u in small characteristics, though they do provide some clarification of known results there also. Finally, we establish that if M is a finite dimensional uzeta-module, then is a finitely generated -module, and we obtain new results on the theory of support varieties for uzeta.
