For a family of local algebras of semidihedral type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, the Hochschild cohomology algebra is described in terms of generators and relations. The calculations are based on the construction of a bimodule resolution for the algebras in question. As a consequence, the Hochschild cohomology algebra is described for the group algebras of semidihedra...

For a truncated quiver algebra over a field of 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.

We calculate Hochschild cohomology groups of the integers treated as an algebra over so-called ”field with one element”. We compare our results with calculation of the topological Hochschild cohomology groups of the integers this is the case when one considers integers as an algebra over the sphere spectrum.

We discuss two versions of a conjecture attributed to M Barr The Harrison cohomology of a commutative algebra is known to coincide with the Andr e Quillen cohomology over a eld of characteristic zero but not in prime characteristics The conjecture is that a modi ed version of Harrison cohomology taking into account torsion always agrees with Andr e Quillen cohomology We give a counterexample De...

The Gerstenhaber and Schack cohomology comparison theorem asserts that there is a cochain equivalence between the Hochschild complex of a certain algebra and the usual singular cochain complex of a space. We show that this comparison theorem preserves the brace algebra structures. This result gives a structural reason for the recent results establishing fine topological structures on the Hochsc...

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...

Let A be a (G, χ)-Hopf algebra with bijection antipode and let M be a G-graded A-bimodule. We prove that there exists an isomorphism HH∗gr(A,M) ∼= Ext ∗ A-gr(K, (M)), where K is viewed as the trivial graded A-module via the counit of A, M is the adjoint A-module associated to the graded A-bimodule M and HHgr denotes the G-graded Hochschild cohomology. As an application, we deduce that the cohom...
