Popis: We introduce for each quiver $Q$ and each algebraic oriented cohomology theory $A$, the cohomological Hall algebra (CoHA) of $Q$, as the $A$-homology of the moduli of representations of the preprojective algebra of $Q$. This generalizes the $K$-theoretic Hall algebra of commuting varieties defined by Schiffmann-Vasserot. When $A$ is the Morava $K$-theory, we show evidence that this algebra is a candidate for Lusztig's reformulated conjecture on modular representations of algebraic groups. We construct an action of the preprojective CoHA on the $A$-homology of Nakajima quiver varieties. We compare this with the action of the Borel subalgebra of Yangian when $A$ is the intersection theory. We also give a shuffle algebra description of this CoHA in terms of the underlying formal group law of $A$. As applications, we obtain a shuffle description of the Yangian.
