We show how to describe the cohomology of the nilradical of a parabolic
subalgebra a semisimple Lie algebra with coefficients in an irreducible
representation of g. The situation in the complex case is well-known,
Kostant's result gives an explicit description of a representation of
a proper reductive subalgebra on the space of the complex cohomology.
The aim of this work is to determine the structure of the real cohomology
from the structure of the complex one. We will use the notation of Dynkin
and Satake diagrams for the description of semisimple and parabolic real
and complex Lie algebras and their representations.
Keywords: semisimple Lie algebra, Lie algebra cohomology, parabolic subalgebra,
real form, real cohomology.
