The first Hochschild cohomology group of a schurian cluster-tilted algebra

Given a cluster-tilted algebra B we study its first Hochschild cohomology group HH¹(B) with coefficients in the B-B-bimodule B. We find several consequences when B is representation-finite, and also in the case where B is cluster-tilted of type . M. J. Redondo is a researcher from CONICET, Argentina.     

On the first Hochschild cohomology group of an algebra

Let A≡KΔ /I be a factor of a path algebra. We develop a strategy to compute dim H ¹(A), the dimension of the first Hochschild cohomology group of A, using combinatorial data from (Δ,I). That allows us to connect dim H ¹(A) with the rank and p-rank of the fundamental group π₁(Δ,I) of (Δ,I). We get explicit formulae for dim H ¹(A), when every path in Δ parallel to an arrow belongs to I or when I is homogeneous. Received: 12 April 1999 / Revised version: 9 October 2000     

The hochschild cohomology ring of a modular group algebra: the commutative case

Let k be a field of characteristic P >0 and let G be a finite abelian group. We determine the structure of the Hochschild cohomology ring of the group algebra k G. Moreover, we prove that for any finite group G the Krull dimension of H H ^*(k G) equals the p-rank of G.     

Group actions on algebras and the graded Lie structure of Hochschild cohomology

Hochschild cohomology governs deformations of algebras, and its graded Lie structure plays a vital role. We study this structure for the Hochschild cohomology of the skew group algebra formed by a finite group acting on an algebra by automorphisms. We examine the Gerstenhaber bracket with a view toward deformations and developing bracket formulas. We then focus on the linear group actions and polynomial algebras that arise in orbifold theory and representation theory; deformations in this context include graded Hecke algebras and symplectic reflection algebras. We give some general results describing when brackets are zero for polynomial skew group algebras, which allow us in particular to find noncommutative Poisson structures. For abelian groups, we express the bracket using inner products of group characters. Lastly, we interpret results for graded Hecke algebras.     

Hochschild cohomology of a strongly homotopy commutative algebra

The Hochschild cohomology of a DG algebra A with coefficients in itself is, up to a suspension of degrees, a graded Lie algebra. The purpose of this paper is to prove that a certain DG Lie algebra of derivations appears as a finite codimensional graded sub Lie algebra of this Lie algebra when A is a strongly homotopy commutative algebra whose homology is concentrated in finitely many degrees. This result has interesting implications for the free the loop space homology which we explore here as well.     

The Hochschild cohomology of the quasi-entwining structure

We give a concept of quasi-entwining structure,and investigate the Hochschild cohomology of the quasi-entwining structure.We obtain the equivalent theorems on the Hochschild cohomology of the quasientwining structure.In particular,we get the isomorphism theorem between the Hochschild cohomology of coalgebra structures and the Hochschild cohomology of the dual algebra structures for the quasi-entwining structures of finite-dimensional algebras and coalgebras.     

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.     

The Hochschild cohomology ring of a selfinjective algebra of finite representation type

This paper describes the Hochschild cohomology ring of a selfinjective algebra of finite representation type over an algebraically closed field , showing that the quotient of the Hochschild cohomology ring by the ideal generated by all homogeneous nilpotent elements is isomorphic to either or , and is thus finitely generated as an algebra. We also consider more generally the property of a finite dimensional algebra being selfinjective, and as a consequence show that if all simple -modules are -periodic, then is selfinjective.

The mod 4 behaviour of total Lie algebra cohomology

We show that if L is a unimodular Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 1 2\ne 2, then the dimension s\sigma(L) of the total cohomology of L is a multiple of 4 when dim(L)\not o 3\dim(L)\not\equiv 3 (mod 4). However, contrary to a claim by Deninger and Singhof, we give an example of a rational nilpotent algebra L of dimension 15 with s(L)\not o 0\sigma(L)\not\equiv 0 (mod 4). Over fields of characteristic 2, we completely classify those algebras L with s(L)\not o 0\sigma(L)\not\equiv 0 (mod 4).     

Self-injective algebras and the second Hochschild cohomology group

In this paper we study the second Hochschild cohomology group ${\mathrm{HH}}^2(\Lambda )$ of a finite dimensional algebra Λ. In particular, we determine ${\mathrm{HH}}^2(\Lambda )$ where Λ is a finite dimensional self-injective algebra of finite representation type over an algebraically closed field K and show that this group is zero for most such Λ; we give a basis for ${\mathrm{HH}}^2(\Lambda )$ in the few cases where it is not zero.     

The Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology group for monomial algebrasLa structure d'algèbre de Lie du premier groupe de la cohomologie de Hochschild pour des algèbres monomiales

We study the Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology group of a finite dimensional monomial algebra Λ, in terms of the combinatorics of its quiver, in any characteristic. This allows us also to examine the identity component of the algebraic group of outer automorphisms of Λ in characteristic zero. Criteria for the solvability, the (semi-) simplicity, the commutativity and the nilpotency are given. To cite this article: C. Strametz, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 334 (2002) 733–738.
