Abstract:
We give an algorithmic way to construct a free bimodule resolution of an algebra admitting a Gröbner base. It enables us to compute the Hochschild (co)homology of the algebra. Let be a finitely generated algebra over a commutative ring with a (possibly infinite) Gröbner base on a free algebra , that is, is the quotient with the ideal of generated by . Given a Gröbner base for an -subbimodule of the free -bimodule generated by a set , we have a morphism of -bimodules from the free -bimodule generated by to sending the generator to the element . We construct a Gröbner base on for the -subbimodule Ker() of , and with this we have the free -bimodule generated by and an exact sequence . Applying this construction inductively to the -bimodule itself, we have a free -bimodule resolution of .
