Summary: Let the reductive group $$G$$ act on the finitely generated commutative $$k$$-algebra $$A$$. We ask if the finite generation property of the ring of invariants $$A^G$$ extends to the full cohomology ring $$H^*(G,A)$$. We confirm this for $$G=\text{SL}_2$$ and also when the action on $$A$$ is replaced by the “contracted” action on the Grosshans graded ring $$\text{gr\,}A$$, provided the characteristic of $$k$$ is large.
