Abstract

We study the relation between module and Hochschild cohomology groups of Banach algebras with a compatible module structure. More precisely, we show that for every commutative Banach A \mathcal{A} -A \mathfrak{A}-bimodule X X and every kN k \in \mathbb{N}, the seminormed spaces HAk(A,X) \mathcal{H}^{k}_{\mathfrak{A}} (\mathcal{A},X^*) and Hk(AJ,X) \mathcal{H}^k (\frac{\mathcal{A}}{J}, X^*) are isomorphic, where J J is the closed ideal of A \mathcal{A} generated by the elements of the form a(αb)(aα)b a (\alpha \cdot b)-(a\cdot \alpha)b with a,bA a,b \in \mathcal{A} and αA.\alpha \in \mathfrak{A}. As an example, we calculate the module cohomologies of inverse semigroup algebras with coefficients in some related function algebras. In particular, we show that for an inverse semigroup S S with the set of idempotents E E , when 1(E)\ell^1(E) acts on 1(S)\ell^1(S) by multiplication from right and trivially from left, the first module cohomology H1(E)1(1(S),1(GS)(2n+1))\mathcal{H}^1_{\ell^1(E)} (\ell^1(S), \ell^1(G_S)^{(2n+1)}) is trivial for each nN n \in \mathbb{N} . As a consequence we conclude that the second module cohomology H1(E)2(1(S),1(GS)(2n+1))\mathcal{H}^2_{\ell^1(E)} (\ell^1(S),\ell^1(G_S)^{(2n+1)}) is a Banach space, where GS G_S is the maximal group homomorphic image of S S .
