An Alternate Approach to the Lie Bracket on Hochschild Cohomology Cris Negron and Sarah Witherspoon

چکیده
We define Gerstenhaber’s graded Lie bracket directly on complexes other than the bar complex, under some conditions, resulting in a practical technique for explicit computations. The Koszul complex of a Koszul algebra in particular satisfies our conditions. As examples we recover the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket for a polynomial ring and the Gerstenhaber bracket for a group algebra of a cyclic group of prime order.

The Gerstenhaber Bracket as a Schouten Bracket for Polynomial Rings Extended by Finite Groups Cris Negron and Sarah Witherspoon
We apply new techniques to compute Gerstenhaber brackets on the Hochschild cohomology of a skew group algebra formed from a polynomial ring and a finite group (in characteristic 0). We show that the Gerstenhaber brackets can always be expressed in terms of Schouten brackets on polyvector fields. We obtain as consequences some conditions under which brackets are always 0, and show that the Hochs...
متن کاملGerstenhaber Brackets for Skew Group Algebras
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 p...

متن کاملGerstenhaber Brackets on Hochschild Cohomology of Twisted Tensor Products
We construct the Gerstenhaber bracket on Hochschild cohomology of a twisted tensor product of algebras, and, as examples, compute Gerstenhaber brackets for some quantum complete intersections arising in work of Buchweitz, Green, Madsen, and Solberg. We prove that a subalgebra of the Hochschild cohomology ring of a twisted tensor product, on which the twisting is trivial, is isomorphic, as a Ger...
متن کاملThe Lie Module Structure on the Hochschild Cohomology Groups of Monomial Algebras with Radical Square Zero
We study the Lie module structure given by the Gerstenhaber bracket on the Hochschild cohomology groups of a monomial algebra with radical square zero. The description of such Lie module structure will be given in terms of the combinatorics of the quiver. The Lie module structure will be related to the classification of finite dimensional modules over simple Lie algebras when the quiver is give...
