Abstract

We define a notion of smooth cohomology for C C^* -algebras which admit a faithful trace. We show that if \AB(\h) \A\subseteq B(\h) is a C C^* -algebra with a faithful normal trace τ \tau on the ultra-weak closure \Aˉ \bar{\A} of A \mathcal{A} , and X X is a normal dual operatorial \Aˉ \bar{\A}-bimodule, then the first smooth cohomology Hs1(A,X) \mathcal{H}^1_{s}(\mathcal{A},X) of A \mathcal{A} is equal to H1(A,Xτ) \mathcal{H}^1(\mathcal{A},X_{\tau}), where Xτ X_{\tau} is a closed submodule of X X consisting of smooth elements.
