Second Hochschild Cohomology of Convolution Algebras

Hochschild Cohomology versus De Rham Cohomology without Formality Theorems

We exploit the Fedosov-Weinstein-Xu (FWX) resolution proposed in q-alg/9709043 to establish an isomorphism between the ring of Hochschild cohomology of the quantum algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold M and the ring H(M,C((~))) of De Rham cohomology of M with the coefficient field C((~)) without making use of any version of formality theorem. We also show that the Gerstenhaber bracket ...

Gerstenhaber 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...

Hochschild Cohomology of Group Extensions of Quantum Symmetric Algebras

Abstract. Quantum symmetric algebras (or noncommutative polynomial rings) arise in many places in mathematics. In this article we find the multiplicative structure of their Hochschild cohomology when the coefficients are in an arbitrary bimodule algebra. When this bimodule algebra is a finite group extension (under a diagonal action) of a quantum symmetric algebra, we give explicitly the graded...

Hochschild cohomology group of quantum matrices and the quantum special linear group

We calculate the first Hochschild cohomology group of quantum matrices, the quantum general linear group and the quantum special linear group in the generic case when the deformation parameter is not a root of unity. As a corollary, we obtain information about twisted Hochschild homology of these algebras. 2000 Mathematics subject classification: 16E40, 16W35, 17B37, 17B40, 20G42
