How to determine the multiplicative structure of the cohomology with local coefficients in the $E_2$-term of the Serre-Spectral Sequence?
For context, let $G$ be a compact Lie group and let $H^k(B_G,\mathcal{H}^l(X,K))$ be the cohomology with local coeficcients (twisted by the induced action of $G$ on $H^*(X,K)$) of the classigying ...
