Dec 16, 2017 at 5:14 comment added Vladimir Dotsenko @AbdelmalekAbdesselam : to be fair, a lot of computations of Lie algebra cohomology need results like Procesi/Rasmyslov/Formanek if one needs to explain them to "hardcore algebraists". However, in many cases using algebraic topology gives alternative proofs (e.g. via the Serre spectral sequence for various fibrations).
Dec 16, 2017 at 4:37 comment added Vanya @Dotsenko : I was looking at Vogan's article where this isomorphism is sketched. Your reference helped a lot. Thank you.
Dec 15, 2017 at 18:11 comment added Abdelmalek Abdesselam Thanks for bringing more perspective to my bare hands brute force approach... I knew from looking at the yellow book by Loday a long time ago that Lie algebra cohomology is related to invariants of matrices as studied by Procesi, Rasmyslov, Formanek and others but I didn't study that connection in earnest.
