What is Invariant Hopf $2$-cocycles for affine algebraic groups about?

We generalize the theory of the second invariant cohomology group $H^2_{\rm inv}(G)$ for finite groups $G$, developed in [Da2,Da3,GK], to the case of affine algebraic groups $G$, using the methods of [EG1,EG2,G]. In particular, we show that for connected affine algebraic groups $G$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, the map $\Theta$ from [GK] is bijective (unlike for some finite groups, as shown in [GK]). This allows us to compute $H^2_{\rm inv}(G)$ in this case, and in particular show that this group is commutative (while for finite groups it can be noncommutative, as shown in [GK]).
