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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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…
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.
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.

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.
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.
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 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.
In this paper, we compute the dimension of the Hochschild cohomology groups of any $m$-cluster tilted algebra of type $\tilde{\mathbb{A}}$. Moreover, we give conditions on the bounded quiver of an $m$-cluster tilted algebra $Λ$ of type $\tilde{\mathbb{A}}$ such that the Gerstenhaber algebra $\operatorname{HH}^*(Λ)$ has non-trivial multiplicative structures. We also show that the derived class of gentle $m$-cluster tilted algebras is not always completely determined by the Hochschild cohomology.
We study a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology of the group ring of finitely generated abelian groups. The Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structure for finite abelian groups comes from the fact that the group ring of finite groups is a symmetric algebra, and the Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structure for free abelian groups of finite rank comes from the fact that its group ring is a Calabi-Yau algebra.
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.
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 $(0,1,0)$.
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.
