We prove that the homology groups of any connected reductive group over a field with coefficients in the Steinberg representation vanish in a range. The generalizes work of Ash-Putman-Sam on the classical split groups. We state a…

In this paper, we consider deformations of Lie 2-algebras via the cohomology theory. We prove that a 1-parameter infinitesimal deformation of a Lie 2-algebra $\g$ corresponds to a 2-cocycle of $\g$ with the coefficients in the adjoint…

We develop and collect techniques for determining Hochschild cohomology of skew group algebras S(V)#G and apply our results to graded Hecke algebras. We discuss the explicit computation of certain types of invariants under centralizer…

The article primarily surveys work that followed from the formulas discovered by Avramov and Iyengar in 2008, which permit one to compute certain Hochschild homology and cohomology modules as expressions involving dualizing complexes. One…

Let $\mathbb S^{\infty}/\mathbb Z_2$ be the infinite lens space and $\mathscr A$ be the Steenrod algebra over the binary field $\mathbb F_2.$ The cohomology $H^{*}((\mathbb S^{\infty}/\mathbb Z_2)^{\oplus s}; \mathbb F_2)$ is known to be…

The main result of this paper is that the k^{\rm th} continuous Hochschild cohomology groups H^k(\cl M,\cl M) and H^k(\cl M,B(H)) of a von Neumann factor ${\cl M}\subseteq B(H) of type {\rm II}_1 with property Gamma are zero for all…

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.

We study the $\mathrm{Out}(F_n)$-action on the second bounded cohomology $H^2_b(F_n, \mathbb{R})$, focusing on the countable-dimensional dense invariant subspace given by Brooks quasimorphisms. We show that this subspace has no…

In this paper we provide a detailed calculation of the Sweedler cohomology of the algebra of functions on (Z/2)^r, in all degrees, over a field of characteristic 2. The result is strikingly different from the characteristic 0 analog. Then…

We investigate the defocusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $$ i \partial_tu + \Delta u = |x|^{-b} \left({\rm e}^{\alpha|u|^2} - 1- \alpha |u|^2 \right) u, \quad u(0)=u_0, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^2, $$ with $0<b<1$ and…

Techniques introduced by G. Pisier in his proof that finite von Neumann factors with property gamma have length at most 5 are modified to prove that the length is 3. It is proved that if such a factor is a complemented subspace of some…

Let B be a unital Banach algebra. A projection in B which is equivalent to the identitity may give rise to a matrix-like structure on any two-sided ideal A in B. In this set-up we prove a theorem to the effect that the bounded Hochschild…

We compute the Hochschild homology of the crossed product $\Bbb C[S_n]\ltimes A^{\otimes n}$ in terms of the Hochschild homology of the associative algebra $A$ (over $\Bbb C$). It allows us to compute the Hochschild (co)homology of $\Bbb…

We introduce a class of densely defined, unbounded, 2-Hochschild cocycles ([PT]) on finite von Neumann algebras $M$. Our cocycles admit a coboundary, determined by an unbounded operator on the standard Hilbert space associated to the von…

A concrete lower-bound for the Hochschild cohomological dimension of a commutative $k$-algebra, in terms of three other homological invariants is obtained. This result is then used to show that most $k$-algebras fail to be quasi-free, even…

The quantization of the superclassical system used in the proof of the index theorem results in a factor of $\hbar^{2}R/8 $ in the Hamiltonian. The path integral expression of the kernel is analyzed up to and including 2-loop order. The…

We study cohomology groups of the Lie algebra of vector fields on the complex line, $W_1$, with values in the tensor fields in several variables. From a generalization by Scheja of the second Riemann (Hartogs) continuation theorem, we…

The set of dynamic symmetries of the scalar free Schr\"odinger equation in d space dimensions gives a realization of the Schr\"odinger algebra that may be extended into a representation of the conformal algebra in d+2 dimensions, which…

In this paper, we determine the dimensions of the Hochschild cohomology groups of some self-injective special biserial algebra whose Grothendieck group is of rank $4$. This result provides us with a negative answer to Happel's question in…

In this note, starting with any group homomorphism $f\colon\Gamma\to G$, which is surjective upon abelianization, we construct a universal central extension $u\colon U\twoheadrightarrow G,$ UNDER $\Gamma$ with the same surjective property,…
