Hochschild (Co)homology of Exterior Algebras

The minimal projective bimodule resolutions of the exterior algebras are explicitly constructed. They are applied to calculate the Hochschild (co)homology of the exterior algebras. Thus the cyclic homology of the exterior algebras can be calculated in case the underlying field is of characteristic zero. Moreover, the Hochschild cohomology rings of the exterior algebras are determined by generators and relations.     

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.     

The first cohomology group of trivial extensions of special biserial algebras

Given a finite dimensional special biserial algebra A with normed basis we obtain the dimension formulae of the first Hochschild homology groups of A and the vector space Alt(DA). As a consequence, an explicit dimension formula of the first Hochschild cohomology group of trivial extension TA = A×DA in terms of the combinatorics of the quiver and relations is determined.     

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.     

Hochschild and cyclic (co)homology of superadditive categories

We define the Hochschild and cyclic (co)homology groups for superadditive categories and show that these (co)homology groups are graded Morita invariants. We also show that the Hochschild and cyclic homology are compatible with the tensor product of superadditive categories.     

Nontriviality of the first Hochschild cohomology of some block algebras of finite groups

We show that for some finite group block algebras, with nontrivial defect groups, the first Hochschild cohomology is nontrivial. Along the way we obtain methods to investigate the nontriviality of the first Hochschild cohomology of some twisted group algebras.     

Module-relative-Hochschild (co)homology of tensor products

In this paper, we consider the module-relative-Hochschild homology and cohomology of tensor products of algebras and relate them to those of the factor algebras. Moreover, we show that the tensor product is formally smooth if and only if one of its factor algebras is formally smooth and the other is separable.     

Quillen-Barr-Beck (co-) homology for restricted Lie algebras

In this paper we use Quillen-Barr-Beck's theory of (co-) homology of algebras in order to define (co-) homology for the category RLie of restricted Lie algebras over a field k of characteristic p≠0. In contrast with the cases of groups, associative algebras and Lie algebras we do not obtain Hochschild (co-) homology shifted by 1.Precisely, we determine for L∈RLie the category of Beck L-modules and the group of Beck derivations of g∈RLie/L to a Beck L-module M. Moreover, we prove a classification theorem which gives a one-to-one correspondence between the one cohomology and the set of equivalent classes of p-extensions. Finally, a universal coefficient theorem is proved, relating the homology to the Hochschild homology via a short exact sequence. This shows that the new homology determines the Hochschild homology.     

Morita 型稳定等价下的模- 相对Hochschild (上) 同调

Ardizzoni, Brzeziński 和Menini 在研究代数的形式光滑性以及形式光滑双模时利用相对右导出函子引入了模- 相对Hochschild 上同调的概念. 本文利用相对左导出函子相应地给出模- 相对Hochschild 同调的定义, 讨论了在Morita 型稳定等价下, 代数的Hochschild (上) 同调、相对Hochschild (上) 同调以及模- 相对Hochschild (上) 同调三者之间的关系, 证明了模- 相对Hochschild 同调与上同调是Morita 型稳定等价下的不变量. 作为该结果的应用, 我们得到形式光滑双模与可分双模的一种构造方法, 并给出了通常意义下的Hochschild (上) 同调是Morita 型稳定等价不变量的一种新的证明.     

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.     

Global Hochschild (co-)homology of singular spaces

We introduce Hochschild (co-)homology of morphisms of schemes or analytic spaces and study its fundamental properties. In analogy with the cotangent complex we introduce the so-called (derived) Hochschild complex of a morphism; the Hochschild cohomology and homology groups are then the Ext and Tor groups of that complex. We prove that these objects are well defined, extend the known cases, and have the expected functorial and homological properties such as graded commutativity of Hochschild cohomology and existence of the characteristic homomorphism from Hochschild cohomology to the (graded) centre of the derived category.     

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.     

Crossed Modules Over Operads and Operadic Cohomology

It is known that elements in the cohomology of groups and in the Hochschild cohomology of algebras are represented by crossed extensions. We introduce the notion of crossed modules and crossed extensions for algebras over operads and obtain in this way an operadic version of Hochschild cohomology. Applications are given for the operads Com, Ass and for E operads.     

Hochschild Cohomology of <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Schur Algebras

We compute the Hochschild cohomology of any block of q-Schur algebras. We focus on the even part of this Hochschild cohomology ring. To compute the Hochschild cohomology of q-Schur algebras, we prove the following two results: first, we construct two graded algebra surjections between the Hochschild cohomologies of quasi-hereditary algebras because all q-Schur algebras over a field are quasi-hereditary. Second, we give the graded algebra isomorphism of Hochschild cohomologies by using a certain derive equivalence.     

On the Hochschild (co)homology of a monomial algebra given by a cyclic quiver and two zero-relations

Let K be an algebraically closed field and Γ a cyclic quiver. Xu and Wang investigated the Hochschild (co)homology groups of KΓ∕I, where I is an ideal of KΓ generated by one path. In this paper, in the case that I is an ideal of KΓ generated by two paths, we give the module structure of the Hochschild (co)homology groups of KΓ∕I.     

Homology of algebras of families of pseudodifferential operators

We compute the Hochschild, cyclic, and periodic cyclic homology groups of algebras of families of Laurent complete symbols on manifolds with corners. We show in particular that the spectral sequence associated with Hochschild homology degenerates at E² and converges to Hochschild homology. As a byproduct, we identify the space of residue traces on fibrations by manifolds with corners. In the process, we prove some structural results about algebras of complete symbols on manifolds with corners.     

Homology and cohomology intersection numbers of GKZ systems

We describe the homology intersection form associated to regular holonomic GKZ systems in terms of the combinatorics of regular triangulations. Combining this result with the twisted period relation, we obtain a formula of cohomology intersection numbers in terms of a Laurent series. We show that the cohomology intersection number depends rationally on the parameters. We also prove a conjecture of F. Beukers and C. Verschoor on the signature of the monodromy invariant hermitian form.     

Frobenius Poisson algebras

This paper is devoted to study Frobenius Poisson algebras. We introduce pseudo-unimodular Poisson algebras by generalizing unimodular Poisson algebras, and investigate Batalin-Vilkovisky structures on their cohomology algebras. For any Frobenius Poisson algebra, all Eatalin-Vilkovisky opera tors on its Poisson cochain complex are described explicitly. It is proved that there exists a Batalin-Vilkovisky operator on its cohomology algebra which is induced from a Batalin-Vilkovisky operator on the Poisson cochain complex, if and only if the Poisson st rue ture is pseudo-unimodular. The relation bet ween modular derivations of polynomial Poisson algebras and those of their truncated Poisson algebras is also described in some cases.
