Applications of topological chiral homology and factorization algebras (aka higher Hochschild cohomology)
I recently heard a talk about these topics and found them very interesting.
The talk was centered on the formal structure and didn't really focus on examples.
So my question is: w …

Algebras Morita equivalent to their centers
Hi,
I wonder if there is a name for:
1) Algebras which are Morita equivalent to their centers, or
2) dg-algebras which are derived Morita equivalent to their Hochshild cohomolog …

Computer Algebra solution for simplicial resolutions for André-Quillen cohomology
Hello,
I would like to experiment with André-Quillen (co)homology. Especially for singular rings.
A key problem is that the construction of a simplicial resolution of a ring seems …

A simple proof of the Weyl algebra’s rigidity.
I am wondering if there is a nice presentation of the Hochschild cohomology of $A_n$ the Weyl algebra. It is known that $H^m(A_n,A_n)=0$ for $m>0$, and thus it is rigid. A proof ca …

Hochschild H^1 (R,M) = 0 vs. H_1 (R,M) = 0 where R is a ring and M is an (R,R)-bimodule
Let $k$ be a commutative ring (with unity). Let $R$ be a $k$-algebra (with unity, but not of necessity commutative).
Let $M$ be an $\left(R,R\right)$-bimodule where $k$ acts in th …
