Dimer models provide a method of constructing noncommutative crepant resolutions of affine toric Gorenstein threefolds. In homological mirror symmetry, they can also be used to describe noncommutative Landau--Ginzburg models dual to punctured Riemann surfaces. For a zigzag consistent dimer embedded in a torus, we explicitly compute the Hochschild cohomology of its Jacobi algebra in terms of dimer combinatorics. This includes a full characterization of the Batalin--Vilkovisky structure induced by the Calabi--Yau structure of the Jacobi algebra. We then compute the compactly supported Hochschild cohomology of the category of matrix factorizations for the Jacobi algebra with its canonical potential.
We compute the Hochschild cohomology of any block of $q$-Schur algebras. We focus 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 derived equivalence.
For a tensor product of algebras twisted by a bicharacter, we completely describe its Hochschild cohomology, as a Gerstenhaber algebra, in terms of the Hochschild cohomology of its component parts. This description generalizes a result of Bergh and Oppermann. It allows us to significantly simplify various calculations in the literature, and to compute Hochschild cohomology for a number of new examples.
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 finite-dimensional if and only if its global dimension is finite if and only if its quiver has no oriented cycles.
We consider a class of self-injective special biserial algebras $Λ_N$ over a field $K$ and show that the Hochschild cohomology ring of $Λ_N$ is a finitely generated $K$-algebra. Moreover the Hochschild cohomology ring of $Λ_N$ modulo nilpotence is a finitely generated commutative $K$-algebra of Krull dimension two. As a consequence the conjecture of Snashall-Solberg \cite{SS}, concerning the Hochschild cohomology ring modulo nilpotence, holds for this class of algebras.
We study cup product and cap product in Tate-Hochschild theory for a finite dimensional Frobenius algebra. We show that Tate-Hochschild cohomology ring equipped with cup product is isomorphic to singular Hochschild cohomology ring introduced by Wang. An application of cap product occurs in Tate-Hochschild duality; as in Tate (co)homology of a finite group, the cap product with the fundamental class of a finite dimensional Frobenius algebra provides certain duality result between Tate-Hochschild cohomology and homology groups. Moreover, we characterize minimal complete resolutions over a finite…
In this paper, we study the Batalin-Vilkovisky structure on the Hochschild cohomology of quantum zigzag algebras $A_{q}$ of type $\widetilde{\mathbf{A}}_{1}$. We first calculate the dimensions of Hochschild homology groups and Hochschild cohomology groups of $A_{q}$. Based on these computations, we determine the Hochschild cohomology ring of $A_{q}$, and give the Batalin-Vilkovisky operator and the Gerstenhaber bracket on Hochschild cohomology ring of $A_{q}$ explicitly.
We show that Hochschild cohomology of an algebra over a field is a space of infinity coderivations on an arbitrary projective bimodule resolution of the algebra. The Gerstenhaber bracket is the graded commutator of infinity coderivations. We thus generalize, to an arbitrary resolution, Stasheff's realization of the Gerstenhaber bracket on Hochschild cohomology as the graded commutator of coderivations on the tensor coalgebra of the algebra.
The objective of this paper is to give a concrete interpretation of the dimension of the first Hochschild cohomology space of a cyclically oriented or tame cluster tilted algebra in terms of a numerical invariant arising from the potential.
For algebras with radical square zero, we give a combinatorial description to the Tate-Hochschild cohomology. We compute the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Tate-Hochschild cohomology for some classes of such algebras.
Given a cluster-tilted algebra B we study its first Hochschild cohomology group HH^1(B) with coefficients in the B-B-bimodule B. We find several consequences when B is representation-finite, and also in the case where B is cluster-tilted of type \tilde{\mathbb{A}}.
Let A be any finite dimensional Hopf algebra over a field k. We specify the Tate and Tate-Hochschild cohomology for A and introduce cup products that make them become graded rings. We establish the relationship between these rings. In particular, the Tate-Hochschild cohomology of A is isomorphic (as algebras) to its Tate cohomology with coefficients in an adjoint module. Consequently, the Tate cohomology ring of A is a direct summand of its Tate-Hochschild cohomology ring. As an example, we explicitly compute both the Tate and Tate-Hochschild cohomology for the Sweedler algebra H_4.
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 Gerstenhaber algebras, to the tensor product of the respective subalgebras of the Hochschild cohomology rings of the factors.
We formulate the Gerstenhaber algebra structure of Hochschild cohomology of finite group extensions of some quantum complete intersections. When the group is trivial, this work characterizes the graded Lie brackets on Hochschild cohomology of these quantum complete intersections, previously only known for a few cases. As an example, we compute the algebra structure for two generator quantum complete intersections extended by select groups.
In this note we give a generalization for the higher order Hochschild cohomology and show that the secondary Hochschild cohomology is a particular case of this new construction.
We give a description of the Hochschild cohomology for noncommutative planes (resp. quadrics) using the automorphism groups of the elliptic triples (resp. quadruples) that classify the Artin-Schelter regular $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras used to define noncommutative planes and quadrics. For elliptic triples the description of the automorphism groups is due to Bondal-Polishchuk, for elliptic quadruples it is new.
We study the Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology group of a finite dimensional monomial algebra A, in terms of the combinatorics of its quiver, in any characteristic. This allows us also to examine the identity component of the algebraic group of outer automorphisms of A in characteristic zero. Criteria for the (semi-)simplicity, the solvability, the reductivity, the commutativity and the nilpotency are given.
We show that the secondary Hochschild cohomology associated to a triple $(A,B,\varepsilon)$ has several of the properties of the usual Hochschild cohomology. Among others, we prove the existence of the cup and Lie products, discuss the connection with extensions of $B$-algebras, and give a Hodge type decomposition of the secondary Hochschild cohomology.
It has been shown in previous work that the modular group acts projectively on the center of a factorizable ribbon Hopf algebra. The center is the zeroth Hochschild cohomology group. In this article, we extend this projective action of the modular group to an arbitrary Hochschild cohomology group of a factorizable ribbon Hopf algebra, in fact up to homotopy even to a projective action on the entire Hochschild cochain complex.
Keller proved in 1999 that the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology of an algebra is an invariant of the derived category. In this paper, we adapt his approach to show that the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Tate-Hochschild cohomology of an algebra is preserved under singular equivalences of Morita type with level, a notion introduced by the author in previous work.
We show that the Tate-Hochschild cohomology ring $HH^*(RG,RG)$ of a finite group algebra $RG$ is isomorphic to a direct sum of the Tate cohomology rings of the centralizers of conjugacy class representatives of $G$. Moreover, our main result provides an explicit formula for the cup product in $HH^*(RG,RG)$ with respect to this decomposition. As an example, this formula helps us to compute the Tate-Hochschild cohomology ring of the symmetric group $S_3$ with coefficients in a field of characteristic 3.
We prove formulas of different types that allow to calculate the Gerstenhaber bracket on the Hochschild cohomology of an algebra using some arbitrary projective bimodule resolution for it. Using one of these formulas, we give a new short proof of the derived invariance of the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on Hochschild cohomology. Also we give some new formulas for the Connes' differential on the Hochschild homology that lead to formulas for BV differential on the Hochschild cohomology in the case of symmetric algebras. Finally, we use one of the obtained formulas to get a full description of…
We prove that Hochschild cohomology of a certain class of fully group-graded algebras is a Mackey functor. We use the machinery of transfer maps between the Hochschild cohomology of symmetric algebras.
We prove that the Gerstenhaber bracket on the Hochschild cohomology of the group algebra of a cyclic group over a field of positive characteristic is not trivial. In this case, we relate the Lie algebra structure on the odd degrees of the Hochschild cohomology with a Witt-type algebra.
We present a deformation theory associated to the higher Hochschild cohomology $H_{S^2}^*(A,A)$. We also study a $G$-algebra structure associated to this deformation theory.
In this paper we define a new cohomology theory for a $B$-algebra $A$. We use this cohomology to study deformations of algebras $A[[t]]$, that have a $B$-algebra structure.
This paper presents an infinite family of Koszul self-injective algebras whose Hochschild cohomology ring is finite-dimensional. Moreover, for each $N \geq 5$ we give an example where the Hochschild cohomology ring has dimension $N$. This family of algebras includes and generalizes the 4-dimensional Koszul self-injective local algebras of Buchweitz, Green, Madsen and Solberg, which were used to give a negative answer to Happel's question, in that they have infinite global dimension but finite-dimensional Hochschild cohomology.
We identify two Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structures, one obtained by Kowalzig and Krahmer on the Hochschild cohomology of an Artin-Schelter regular algebra with semisimple Nakayama automorphism and the other obtained by Lambre, Zhou and Zimmermann on the Hochschild cohomology of a Frobenius algebra also with semisimple Nakayama automorphism, provided that these two algebras are Koszul dual to each other.
Let $G$ be a finite simple group and $k$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic dividing the order of $G$. We show that for all $2$-cocycles $α\in Z^2(G;k^\times)$, the first Hochschild cohomology group of the twisted group algebra $HH^1(k_αG)$ is nonzero.
We prove the existence of two long exact sequences relating the Hochschild cohomology of a triangular matrix algebra with the Hochschild homology of its component subalgebras. We also study the structure of the maps of the first sequence.
In this paper we define a new cohomology for multiplicative Hom-associative algebras, which generalize Hochschild cohomology and fits with deformations of Hom-associative algebras including the structure map $α$. It is a generalization of the known Hochschild-type cohomology for Hom-associative algebras defined by Amar, Ejbehi and Makhlouf. Moreover, we provide various observations and similarly a new cohomology of Hom-bialgebras extending the Gerstenhaber-Schack cohomology for Hom-bialgebras given by Dekkar and Makhlouf.
Let $Γ$ be a connected graph without loops, cycles or multiple edges and $Z(Γ)$ the corresponding zigzag algebra. Then every Jordan derivation of $Z(Γ)$ is a derivation. Moreover, we will prove that the dimension of 1th Hochschild cohomology group of $Z(Γ)$ is one by computing the dimensions of linear spaces spanned by derivations and inner derivations. This implies that the dimension of the 1th Hochschild cohomology group of each algebra derived equivalent to a zigzag algebra is 1.
We give a complete study of the Clifford-Weyl algebra ${\mathcal C}(n,2k)$ from Bose-Fermi statistics, including Hochschild cohomology (with coefficients in itself). We show that ${\mathcal C}(n,2k)$ is rigid when $n$ is even or when $k \neq 1$. We find all non-trivial deformations of ${\mathcal C}(2n+1,2)$ and study their representations.
Let k be a field, q in k. We derive a cup product formula on the Hochschild cohomology ring of a family Lambda_q of quiver algebras. Using this formula, we determine a subalgebra of k[x,y] isomorphic to Hochschild cohomology modulo N, where N is the ideal generated by homogeneous nilpotent elements. We explicitly construct non-nilpotent Hochschild cocycles which cannot be generated by lower homological degree elements, thus disproving the Snashall-Solberg finite generation conjecture.
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.
We give some general results on the ring structure of Hochschild cohomology of smash products of algebras with Hopf algebras. We compute this ring structure explicitly for a large class of finite dimensional Hopf algebras of rank one.
We define $H$-Galois extensions for $k$-linear categories and a Hopf algebra $H$ and prove the existence of a Grothendieck spectral sequence for Hochschild-Mitchell cohomology, related to this situation. This spectral sequence is multiplicative and for a $H$ a group algebra decomposes as a direct sum indexed by the set of conjugacy classes of the group. We also compute some Hochschild-Mitchell cohomology groups of categories with infinite associated quiver.
In this paper, we define the singular Hochschild cohomology groups $HH_{sg}^i(A, A)$ of an associative $k$-algebra $A$ as morphisms from $A$ to $A[i]$ in the singular category $D_{sg}(A\otimes_k A^{op})$ for $i\in \mathbb{Z}$. We prove that $HH_{sg}^*(A, A)$ has a Gerstenhaber algebra structure and in the case of a symmetric algebra $A$, $HH_{sg}^*(A, A)$ is a Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) algebra.
In this paper, we construct an explicit minimal projective bimodule resolution of a self-injective special biserial algebra $A_{T}$ ($T\geq0$) whose Grothendieck group is of rank $4$. As a main result, we determine the dimension of the Hochschild cohomology group ${\rm HH}^{i}(A_{T})$ of $A_{T}$ for $i\geq0$, completely. Moreover we give a presentation of the Hochschild cohomology ring modulo nilpotence ${\rm HH}^{*}(A_{T})/\mathcal{N}_{A_{T}}$ of $A_{T}$ by generators and relations in the case where $T=0$.
This document is supplementary material for the author's paper \emph{The cup product on hochschild cohomology for localizations of filtered koszul algebras}, arXiv:1304.0527. We give a detailed computation of the Hochschild cohomology algebra for the Down-Up algebra with parameters $(0,1,0)$.
We describe the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology HH*$(A)$ when $A$ is a quadratic string algebra. First we compute the Hochschild cohomology groups using Barzdell's resolution and we describe generators of these groups. Then we construct comparison morphisms between the bar resolution and Bardzell's resolution in order to get formulae for the cup product and the Lie bracket. We find conditions on the bound quiver associated to string algebras in order to get non-trivial structures.
We compute the Hochschild cohomology ring of the algebras $A= k\langle X, Y\rangle/ (X^a, XY-qYX, Y^a)$ over a field $k$ where $a\geq 2$ and where $q\in k$ is a primitive $a$-th root of unity. We find the the dimension of $\mathrm{HH}^n(A)$ and show that it is independent of $a$. We compute explicitly the ring structure of the even part of the Hochschild cohomology modulo homogeneous nilpotent elements.
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and let $Q_8$ be the quaternion group of order $8$. We determine the Gerstenhaber Lie algebra structure and the Batalin-Vilkovisky structure on the Hochschild cohomology ring of the group algebra $kQ_8$.
Let $a$ and $b$ be two coprime positive integers and $k$ an arbitrary field. We determine the ring structure of the Hochschild cohomology of the numerical semigroup algebras $k[s^{a},s^{b}]$ of embedding dimension two (thus also complete intersections) in terms of generators and relations. In addition, we compute the Hilbert series for this cohomology ring.
We give explicit formulae for operations in Hochschild cohomology which are analogous to the operations in the homology of double loop spaces. As a corollary we obtain that any brace algebra in finite characteristic is always a restricted Lie algebra.
For a finite-dimensional Frobenius $k$-algebra $R$ with the Nakayama automorphism $ν$ we define an algebra ${\rm HH}^*(R)^{ν\uparrow}$. If the order of $ν$ is not divisible by the characteristic of $k$, this algebra is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology algebra of $R$.. We prove that this algebra is a BV-algebra. We use this fact to calculate the Gerstenhaber algebra structure and BV-structure on the Hochschild cohomology algebras of a family of self-injective algebras of tree type $D_n$.
We apply discrete algebraic Morse theory to calculate the Anick resolution of the group algebra of the group $G_3^2$. As a corollary, we evaluate Hochschild cohomologies of $G_3^2$ with coefficients in all 1-dimensional bimodules. Almost all these groups are trivial, the only exceptions are 1-dimensional $H^2$ for two particular 1-dimensional bimodules.
We borrow ideas from Grothendieck duality theory to noncommutative algebra, and use them to prove a reduction result for Hochschild cohomology for noncommutative algebras which are finite over their center. This generalizes a result over commutative algebras by Avramov, Iyengar, Lipman and Nayak.
