Cohomological Comparison Theorem

If $f$ is an idempotent in a ring $\Lambda$, then we find sufficient \linebreak conditions which imply that the cohomology rings $\oplus_{n\ge 0}Ext^n_{\Lambda}(\Lambda/{\br},\Lambda/{\br})$ and \linebreak $\oplus_{n\ge 0}Ext^n_{f\Lambda f}(f\Lambda f/f{\br} f,f\Lambda f/f{\br} f)$ are eventually isomorphic. This result allows us to compare finite generation and GK dimension of the cohomology rings $\Lambda$ and $f\Lambda f$. We are also able to compare the global dimensions of $\Lambda$ and $f\Lambda f$.
