Abstract

Let G be a group scheme of finite type over a field, and consider the cohomology ring H *(G) with coefficients in the structure sheaf. We show that H *(G) is a free module of finite rank over its component of degree 0, and is the exterior algebra of its component of degree 1. When G is connected, we determine the Hopf algebra structure of H *(G).
