Let A be a non-commutative algebra and let X be some geometric space (such as a topological space or an algebraic variety or scheme). Is there a notion of cohomology ring of X with coefficients in A? What is the correct set up to consider cohomologies with non-commutative coefficients?



If a topological group $G$ acts on a space $X$ one can construct its equivariant cohomology ring $H^*_G(X)$ (say with coefficients in $mathbbR$). Is there a notion of equivariant cohomology for $(X, G)$ with coefficients in a non-commutative algebra $A$?

Is there a notion of cohomology ring of X with coefficients in A?




Yes, and nothing new is needed. The underlying additive group of $A$ is abelian so you take cohomology with coefficients in that abelian group; then the multiplication on $A$ is a bilinear map $A times A to A$ which induces a map



$$H^n(X, A) times H^m(X, A) to H^n+m(X, A)$$



in the usual way. That is, the construction is exactly the same as for cohomology with coefficients in a commutative ring; commutativity of the multiplication is not actually used in the construction. So this isn't actually "nonabelian cohomology" in the sense that term is usually meant.
