We define two (n + 1) graded Lie brackets on spaces of multilinear mappings. The first one is able to recognize n-graded as-sociative algebras and their modules and gives immediately the correct differential for Hochschild cohomology. The second one recognizes n-graded Lie algebra structures and their modules and gives rise to the notion of Chevalley cohomology.

Let A be a symmetric k-algebra over a perfect field k. Külshammer defined for any integer n a mapping ζn on the degree 0 Hochschild cohomology and a mapping κn on the degree 0 Hochschild homology of A as adjoint mappings of the respective p-power mappings with respect to the symmetrizing bilinear form. In an earlier paper it is shown that ζn is invariant under derived equivalences. In the prese...

The central result of this paper is an explicit computation of the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of a natural smooth subalgebra of stable continuous trace algebras having smooth manifolds X as their spectrum. More precisely, the Hochschild homology is identified with the space of differential forms on X, and the periodic cyclic homology with the twisted de Rham cohomology of X, thereby gener...

We compute the Hochschild homology and cohomology, and cyclic homology, of almost Calabi-Yau algebras for SU(3) ADE graphs. These almost Calabi-Yau algebras are a higher rank analogue of the pre-projective algebras for Dynkin diagrams, which are SU(2)-related constructions. The Hochschild (co)homology and cyclic homology of A can be regarded as invariants for the braided subfactors associated t...

For the physical aspects of deformation quantization we refer to the expository and survey papers [4] and [10]. Our objective is to initiate a version of global theory of quantization deformation in the category of complex analytic spaces in the same lines as the theory of (commutative) deformation. The goal of inifinitesimal theory is to do few steps towards construction of a star-product in t...
