Computing the Hochschild Cohomology Groups of Some Families of Incidence Algebras

The purpose of this article is to present some computations of Hochschild cohomology groups of particular classes of incidence algebras using one-point extensions and one-point coextensions.     

On the Hochschild Cohomology of Triangular Algebras

Abstract

In order to study the Hochschild cohomology of an n-triangular algebra 𝒯 _n , we construct a spectral sequence, whose terms are parametrized by the length of the trajectories of the quiver associated with 𝒯 _n , and which converges to the Hochschild cohomology of 𝒯 _n . We describe explicitly its components and its differentials which are sums of cup products. In case n = 3 we study some properties of the differential at level 2. We give some examples of use of the spectral sequence and recover formulas for the dimension of the cohomology groups of particular cases of triangular algebras.

Transfer in Hochschild Cohomology of Blocks of Finite Groups

We develop the notion of a cohomology ring of blocks of finite groups and study its basic properties by means of transfer maps between the Hochschild cohomology rings of symmetric algebras associated with bounded complexes of finitely generated bimodules which are projective on either side.     

Artin Algebras with Loops but No Outer Derivations

We construct families of Artin algebras over fields of arbitrary characteristic that contain a loop in their ordinary quiver but admit no nontrivial outer derivation. This refuses the long-held belief that such algebras should not exist.     

Cohomology of oriented algebras

In this paper, our goal is to develop the equivariant version of Hochschild cohomology. In particular, we develop a cohomology theory for oriented algebras.     

Twisted Bimodules and Hochschild Cohomology for Self-injective Algebras of Class A n , II

Up to derived equivalence, the representation-finite self-injective algebras of class A _n are divided into the wreath-like algebras (containing all Brauer tree algebras) and the Möbius algebras. In Part I (Forum Math. 11 (1999), 177–201), the ring structure of Hochschild cohomology of wreath-like algebras was determined, the key observation being that kernels in a minimal bimodule resolution of the algebras are twisted bimodules. In this paper we prove that also for Möbius algebras certain kernels in a minimal bimodule resolution carry the structure of a twisted bimodule. As an application we obtain detailed information on subrings of the Hochschild cohomology rings of Möbius algebras.     

Batalin-Vilkovisky Algebras and Cyclic Cohomology of Hopf Algebras

We show that the Connes–Moscovici negative cyclic cohomology of a Hopf algebra equipped with a character has a Lie bracket of degree -2. More generally, we show that a cyclic operad with multiplication is a cocyclic module whose simplicial cohomology is a Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra and whose negative cyclic cohomology is a graded Lie algebra of degree -2. This generalizes the fact that the Hochschild cohomology algebra of a symmetric algebra is a Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra.     

Support Varieties for Selfinjective Algebras

Support varieties for any finite dimensional algebra over a field were introduced in (Proc. London Math. Soc. 88 (3) (2004) 705–732) using graded subalgebras of the Hochschild cohomology ring. We mainly study these varieties for selfinjective algebras under appropriate finite generation hypotheses. Then many of the standard results from the theory of support varieties for finite groups generalize to this situation. In particular, the complexity of the module equals the dimension of its corresponding variety, all closed homogeneous varieties occur as the variety of some module, the variety of an indecomposable module is connected, the variety of periodic modules are lines and for symmetric algebras a generalization of Webbs theorem is true. As a corollary of a more general result we show that Webbs theorem generalizes to finite dimensional cocommutative Hopf algebras.Received November 2003Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) Primary: 16E40, 16G10, 16P10, 16P20; Secondary: 16G70.     

The Simple Connectedness of a Tame Weakly Shod Algebra

Abstract

We prove that a tame weakly shod algebra A which is not quasi-tilted is simply connected if and only if the orbit graph of its pip-bounded component is a tree, or if and only if its first Hochschild cohomology group H¹(A) with coefficients in _A A _A vanishes. We also show that it is strongly simply connected if and only if the orbit graph of each of its directed components is a tree, or if and only if H¹(A) = 0 and it contains no full convex subcategory which is hereditary of type 𝔸?, or if and only if it is separated and contains no full convex subcategory which is hereditary of type 𝔸?.     

Cohomology Algebras of Blocks of Finite Groups and Brauer Correspondence

M. Linckelmann defined the cohomology algebras of blocks of finite groups. This note is an attempt to analyze an inclusion of cohomology algebras of blocks that corresponds under Brauer correspondence through transfer maps between the Hochschild cohomology algebras of the blocks.Presented by Jon Carlson.     

More on the Hochschild and Cyclic Homologies of Crossed Modules of Algebras

We investigate the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of crossed modules of algebras in some special cases. We prove that the cotriple cyclic homology of a crossed module of algebras (I, A, ρ) is isomorphic to HC _*(ρ): HC _*(I) → HC _*(A), provided I is H-unital and the ground ring is a field with characteristic zero. We also calculate the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of a crossed module of algebras (R, 0, 0) for each algebra R with trivial multiplication. At the end, we give some applications proving a new five term exact sequence.     

Hochschild Cohomology of the Algebra of Smooth Functions on the Torus

We calculate the Hochschild cohomology of the algebra of smooth functions on a finite-dimensional real torus with coefficients in the adjoint representation, generalizing the previously developed technique to the discrete case for this.__________Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 144, No. 3, pp. 435–452, September, 2005.     

L 2-Cohomology for Von Neumann Algebras

We study L ²-Betti numbers for von Neumann algebras, as defined by D. Shlyakhtenko and A. Connes in [CoS]. We give a definition of L ²-cohomology and show how the study of the first L ²-Betti number can be related to the study of derivations with values in a bi-module of affiliated operators. We show several results about the possibility of extending derivations from sub-algebras and about uniqueness of such extensions. In particular, we show that the first L ²-Betti number of a tracial von Neumann algebra coincides with the corresponding number for an arbitrary weakly dense sub-C*-algebra. Along the way, we prove some results about the dimension function of modules over rings of affiliated operators which are of independent interest.

Quotients of Incidence Algebras and the Euler Characteristic

In this note, we show that, if A ? kQ _A /I _A is a schurian strongly simply connected algebra given by its normed presentation, and Σ is the unique poset whose Hasse quiver coincides with Q _A , then A ? kΣ if and only if I _A has a generating set consisting of exactly χ(Q _A ) elements, where χ(Q _A ) is the Euler characteristic of Q _A . We also prove that a quotient of an incidence algebra A = kΣ/J is strongly simply connected if and only if A is simply connected and kΣ is strongly simply connected.     

Cohomology of Sheaves of Frechet Algebras and Spectral Theory

We propose a holomorphic functional calculus for a noncommutative operator family generating a supernilpotent Lie subalgebra. This calculus extends Taylor's holomorphic functional calculus.     

Graded Hochschild cohomology of a path algebra with oriented cycles

The aim of this paper is to characterize the first graded Hochschild cohomology of a hereditary algebra whose Gabriel quiver is admitted to have oriented cycles. The interesting conclusion we have obtained shows that the standard basis of the first graded Hochschild cohomology depends on the genus of a quiver as a topological object. In this paper, we overcome the limitation of the classical Hochschild cohomology for hereditary algebra where the Gabriel quiver is assumed to be acyclic. As preparation, we first investigate the graded differential operators on a path algebra and the associated graded Lie algebra.     

Cohomology of exact categories and (non-)additive sheaves

We use (non-)additive sheaves to introduce an (absolute) notion of Hochschild cohomology for exact categories as Ext's in a suitable bisheaf category. We compare our approach to various definitions present in the literature.
