Bialgebra cohomology and exact sequences

We show how the bialgebra cohomologies of two Hopf algebras involved in an exact sequence are related, when the third factor is finite-dimensional cosemisimple. As an application, we provide a short proof of the computation of the bialgebra cohomology of the universal cosovereign Hopf algebras in the generic (cosemisimple) case, done recently by Baraquin, Franz, Gerhold, Kula and Tobolski.
