This is an introduction to work on the generalisation to quantum groups of Mackey's approach to quantisation on homogeneous spaces. We recall the bicrossproduct models of the author, which generalise the quantum double. We describe the…
An associative algebra is nothing but an odd quadratic codifferential on the tensor coalgebra of a vector space, and an A-infinity algebra is simply an arbitrary odd codifferential. Hochschild cohomology classifies the deformations of an…
Let k be a field, A a unitary associative k-algebra and V a k-vector space endowed with a distinguished element 1_V. We obtain a mixed complex, simpler that the canonical one, that gives the Hochschild, cyclic, negative and periodic…
We define a cup product on the Hochschild cohomology of an associative conformal algebra $A$, and show the cup product is graded commutative. We define a graded Lie bracket with the degree $-1$ on the Hochschild cohomology $\HH^{\ast}(A)$…
We compute the Hochschild, cyclic, and periodic cyclic homology groups of algebras of families of Laurent complete symbols on manifolds with corners. We show in particular that the spectral sequence associated with Hochschild homology…
We introduce the notion of cyclic cohomology of an A-infinity algebra and show that the deformations of an A-infinity algebra which preserve an invariant inner product are classified by this cohomology. We use this result to construct some…
All Lie bialgebra structures on the Heisenberg--Weyl algebra $[A_+,A_-]=M$ are classified and explicitly quantized. The complete list of quantum Heisenberg--Weyl algebras so obtained includes new multiparameter deformations, most of them…
We prove that when Kontsevich's deformation quantization is applied on weight homogeneous Poisson structures, the operators in the $\ast-$ product formula are weight homogeneous. We then consider the linear Poisson case…
We study formal and non-formal deformation quantizations of a family of manifolds that can be obtained by phase space reduction from $\mathbb{C}^{1+n}$ with the Wick star product in arbitrary signature. Two special cases of such manifolds…
In this paper, we introduce the cohomology theory of $\mathcal{O}$-operators on Hom-associative algebras. This cohomology can also be viewed as the Hochschild cohomology of a certain Hom-associative algebra with coefficients in a suitable…
This is a sequel to our paper on nonlinear completely positive maps and dilation theory for real involutive algebras, where we have reduced all representation classification problems to the passage from a $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal A}$ to its…
Let $A$ and $H$ be two Hopf algebras. We shall classify up to an isomorphism that stabilizes $A$ all Hopf algebras $E$ that factorize through $A$ and $H$ by a cohomological type object ${\mathcal H}^{2} (A, H)$. Equivalently, we classify up…
We consider the polynomial algebra $\mathbb{C}[\mathbf{z}]:=\mathbb{C}[z_1,\,z_2,\,z_3]$ and the polynomial $f:=z_1^3+z_2^3+z_3^3+3qz_1z_2z_3$, where $q\in \mathbb{C}$. Our aim is to compute the Hochschild homology and cohomology of the…
In this paper, we give an explicit chain map, which induces the algebra isomorphism between the Hochschild cohomology ${\bf HH}^{\bullet}(B)$ and the $H$-invariant subalgebra ${\bf H}^{\bullet}(A, B)^{H}$ under two mild hypotheses, where…
We study the multiplicative structure of orbifold Hochschild cohomology in an attempt to generalize the results of Kontsevich and Calaque-Van den Bergh relating the Hochschild and polyvector field cohomology rings of a smooth variety. We…
Let $B$ be a quantum algebra possessing a semiclassical limit $A$. We show that under certain hypotheses $B^e$ can be thought of as a deformation of the Poisson enveloping algebra of $A$, and we give a criterion for the Hochschild…
Let D be a simply laced Dynkin diagram of rank r whose affinization has the shape of a star (i.e., D4,E6,E7,E8). To such a diagram one can attach a group G whose generators correspond to the legs of the affinization, have orders equal to…
Quantum symmetric algebras (or noncommutative polynomial rings) arise in many places in mathematics. In this article we find the multiplicative structure of their Hochschild cohomology when the coefficients are in an arbitrary bimodule…
We study algebras constructed by quantum Hamiltonian reduction associated with symplectic quotients of symplectic vector spaces, including deformed preprojective algebras, symplectic reflection algebras (rational Cherednik algebras), and…
Let ${\mathcal A}$ and ${\frak A}$ be Banach algebras such that ${\mathcal A}$ is a Banach ${\frak A}$-bimodule with compatible actions. We define the product ${\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A}$, which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra…
