Abstract: We prove the analog of Kostant's Theorem on Lie algebra cohomology in the context of quantum groups. We prove that Kostant's cohomology formula holds for quantum groups at a generic parameter q, recovering an earlier result of Malikov in the case where the underlying semisimple Lie algebra mathfrakg=mathfraksl(n). We also show that Kostant's formula holds when q is specialized to an ell-th root of unity for odd ellgeh1 (where h is the Coxeter number of mathfrakg) when the highest weight of the coefficient module lies in the lowest alcove. This can be regarded as an extension of results of Friedlander-Parshall and Polo-Tilouine on the cohomology of Lie algebras of reductive algebraic groups in prime characteristic.
