Leibniz and Hochschild homology

We construct and study the map from Leibniz homology HL_?(𝔥) of an abelian extension 𝔥 of a simple real Lie algebra 𝔤 to the Hochschild homology HH_??1(U(𝔥)) of the universal envelopping algebra U(𝔥). To calculate some homology groups, we use the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequences and Pirashvili spectral sequences. The result shows what part of the non-commutative Leibniz theory is detected by classical Hochschild homology, which is of interest today in string theory.     

Hochschild homology and split pairs

We study the Hochschild homology of algebras related via split pairs, and apply this to fiber products, trivial extensions, monomial algebras, graded-commutative algebras and quantum complete intersections. In particular, we compute lower bounds for the dimensions of both the Hochschild homology and cohomology groups of quantum complete intersections.     

On the homology spectral sequence for topological Hochschild homology

Marcel Bökstedt has computed the homotopy type of the topological Hochschild homology of using his definition of topological Hochschild homology for a functor with smash product. Here we show that easy conceptual proofs of his main technical result of are possible in the context of the homotopy theory of -algebras as introduced by Elmendorf, Kriz, Mandell and May. We give algebraic arguments based on naturality properties of the topological Hochschild homology spectral sequence. In the process we demonstrate the utility of the unstable ``lower' notation for the Dyer-Lashof algebra.

     

A note on the Hochschild homology and cyclic homology of a topological algebra

In this note we use a topological version of Hochschild homology and cyclic homology of a commutative algebra, introduced by P. Seibt in [Se₂], to show, that periodic homology can be used to calculate the relative algebraic de Rham cohomology of a morphism of affine Q-schemes of finite type as defined in [Ha], chapt.

The Hochschild homology of fatpoints

This paper calculates the Hochschild homology of fatpoints—rings of the formk[x ₁,x ₂,…,x _d ]/m ^a wherek is a field of characteristic zero and m=(x ₁ x ₂,…,x _d ). The calculation includes the multiplicative structure induced by the shuffle product. The answer is given in terms of the homology of tori relative to theira-diagonal. Since the rings in question are monoidal, this calculation also determines their topological Hochschild homology. By a theorem of Goodwillie, the dimensions of the cyclic homology groups of these rings are determined as well.     

Hochschild cohomology of truncated quiver algebras

For a truncated quiver algebra over a field of an arbitrary characteristic, its Hochschild cohomology is calculated. Moreover, it is shown that its Hochschild cohomology algebra is finitedimensional if and only if its global dimension is finite if and only if its quiver has no oriented cycles.

Topological Hochschild homology of number rings

We calculate an explicit formula for the topological Hochschild homology of a discrete valuation ring of characteristic zero with finite residue field. From this we deduce the topological Hochschild homology of global number rings.

     

Deformation retracts and the Hochschild homology of polynomial rings

We assume given a ringA with unit, and a subcomplex of the reduced bar complex ofA. We assume that this subcomplex is a deformation retract of the whole complex and thus has homology equal to the Hochschild homology ofA, but it will typically be smaller and easier to calculate with. We use these to construct (accordingly small) deformation retracts for the reduced bar complexes ofA[t] andA[t,t ⁻¹]. WhenA is a Banach algebra, we also do this construction forC ^∞(S¹;A).

Finite generation of Hochschild homology algebras

We prove converses of the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg Theorem, in particular: If a commutative algebra S is flat and essentially of finite type over a noetherian ring , and the Hochschild homology HH _* (S|) is a finitely generated S-algebra for shuffle products, then S is smooth over .

Coactions on Hochschild homology of Hopf-Galois extensions and their coinvariants

Let B⊆A be an H-Galois extension, where H is a Hopf algebra over a field K. If M is a Hopf bimodule then , the Hochschild homology of A with coefficients in M, is a right comodule over the coalgebra C_H=H/[H,H]. Given an injective left C_H-comodule V, our aim is to understand the relationship between and . The roots of this problem can be found in Lorenz (1994) [15], where and are shown to be isomorphic for any centrally G-Galois extension. To approach the above mentioned problem, in the case when A is a faithfully flat B-module and H satisfies some technical conditions, we construct a spectral sequence

     

On galois descent for Hochschild and cyclic homology

LetG be a finite group acting by automorphisms on an algebraS over some commutative ringk. We show that if the action ofG restricted to the center ofS is Galois in the sense of [C-H-R], thenHH _*(S ^G)≊HH _* (S) ^G. An analogous result holds for cyclic homology, provided the order ofG is invertible ink. The author was supported in part by a grant from the NSF.     

Cyclic and Hochschild homology of 2-nilpotent algebras

We compute the cyclic homology of a 2-nilpotent algebra, using a reduced way of obtaining it for an algebra containing a separable subalgebra as a direct summand.Supported by the Swiss National Foundation, FNSRS.     

Hochschild and cyclic homology of finite type algebras

We study Hochschild and cyclic homology of finite type algebras using abelian stratifications of their primitive ideal spectrum. Hochschild homology turns out to have a quite complicated behavior, but cyclic homology can be related directly to the singular cohomology of the strata. We also briefly discuss some connections with the representation theory of reductive p-adic groups.
