In this technical note we give a purely geometric understanding of discrete torsion, as an analogue of orbifold Wilson lines for two-form tensor field potentials. In order to introduce discrete torsion in this context, we describe gerbes…

We study a Lie algebra of formal vector fields $W_n$ with its application to the perturbative deformed holomorphic symplectic structure in the A-model, and a Calabi-Yau manifold with boundaries in the B-model. We show that equivalent…

In this article, we use Harrison cohomology to provide a framework for commutative deformations. In particular, Kontsevich's result that formality of (the Hochschild complex of) an associative algebra implies its deformability is adapted…

We propose a simple method for constructing formal deformations of differential graded algebras in the category of minimal $A_\infty$-algebras. The basis for our approach is provided by the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the…

We construct algebras of endomorphisms in the derived category of the cohomology of arithmetic manifolds, which are generated by Hecke operators. We construct Galois representations with coefficients in these Hecke algebras and apply this…

Given a hypersurface singularity (not necessarily isolated) with a finite abelian group action, we develop a method to define an explicit product structure on the twisted Koszul algebra (whose invariant subalgebra is the orbifold Koszul…

We give a geometric method for determining the cohomology groups and the product structure of a polyhedral product, under suitable freeness conditions or with coefficients taken in a field. This is done by considering first a special class…

We compute the integral cohomology of certain semi-direct products arising from a linear G-action on the n-torus, where G is a finite group. The main application is the complete calculation of torsion gerbes for certain six dimensional…

Hopf algebra methods are applied to study Drinfeld twists of (3+1)-diffeomorphisms and deformed general relativity on \emph{commutative} manifolds. A classical nonlocality length scale is produced above which microcausality emerges. Matter…

The cohomology groups of line bundles over complex tori (or abelian varieties) are classically studied invariants of these spaces. In this article, we compute the cohomology groups of line bundles over various holomorphic, non-commutative…

We determine a basis of the cocenter (i.e., the zeroth Hochschild homology) of the degenerate affine Hecke-Clifford and spin Hecke algebras in classical types.

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…

In this paper, we compute the homology group and cohomology algebra of various polyhedral product objects uniformly from the point of view of diagonal tensor product. As applications, we introduce the polyhedral product method into…

We define the Hochschild complex and cohomology of a ring object in a monoidal category enriched over abelian groups. We interpret the cohomology groups and prove that the cohomology ring is graded-commutative.

Let H be a differential graded Hopf algebra over a field k. This paper gives an explicit construction of a triple cochain complex that defines the Hochschild-Cartier cohomology of H. A certain truncation of this complex is the appropriate…

We consider the 2-cocycle deformation of algebras graded by discrete groups. The action of the Maurer-Cartan form on cyclic cohomology is shown to be cohomologous to the cup product action of the group cocycle. This allows us to compute the…

We start from Rieffel data (A,f,X) where A is a C*-algebra, X is an action of an abelian group H on A and f is a 2-cocycle on the dual group. Using Landstad theory of crossed product we get a deformed C*-algebra A(f). In the case of H being…

We describe the deformation cohomology of a symplectic groupoid, and use it to study deformations via Moser path methods, proving a symplectic groupoid version of the Moser Theorem. Our construction uses the deformation cohomologies of Lie…

In a previous paper, the author compute the dimension of Hochschild cohomology groups of Jacobian algebras from (unpunctured) triangulated surfaces, and gave a geometric interpretation of those numbers in terms of the number of internal…

Using non-selfadjoint techniques, we establish the Hao-Ng isomorphism for the reduced crossed product and all discrete groups. For the full crossed product an analogous result holds for all discrete groups but the C*-correspondences…
