Hochschild Cohomology of Differential Operators in characteristic 0
In Mariusz Wodzicki's paper "Cyclic homology of differential operators," the following result is mentioned: for $D_M$ the algebra of differential operators on a smooth manifold $M$ we have that $HH_n(...

"Spec" of graded rings?
From the discussion at Hochschild cohomology and A-infinity deformations, it seems that general Hochschild cohomology classes correspond to deformations where the deformation parameter can have ...

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: what is your favorite ...

Relationship between Hochschild cohomology and Drinfeld centers
Let $HH_*(A,N)$ (or $HH^*(A,N)$) be the Hochschild homology (or cohomology) of an associative algebra $A$ with coefficients in an $A$-bimodule $N$.
I was reading nlab's entry on Hochschild cohomology ...

Hochschild cohomology and A-infinity deformations
When we are dealing with ordinary things or dg things (where thing = algebra or category), I think I understand how HH^2 corresponds to 1st order deformations and HH^3 corresponds to obstructions.

Antisymmetrization of the Hochschild cocycle
Let $A$ be a commutative (unital, complex) algebra and let $\varphi$ be a $n+1$-linear functional on $A$ (we will call it cochain). Define $$(b\varphi)(a_0,a_1,...,a_{n+1}):=\sum_{j=0}^{n}(-1)^j\...

Normalization of Hochschild cocycles
Let $A$ be a unital algebra over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $C^n(A)$ be the space of all $n+1$-linear maps $f:A^{n+1} \to \mathbb{C}$ (to be called $n$-cochains). Define $b:C^n(A) \to C^{n+1}(A)$ by the ...

A Question on Koszul duality and $B(\infty)$ structures on $HH^*$
The following theorem is known from a paper "Duality in Gerstenhaber Algebras" by Felix, Menichi, Thomas. Given a simply connected space X of finite type.
There is an equivalence of Gerstenhaber ...

Is there an analogue of the module of differentials for "higher order derivations" in the Hochschild/cyclic senses?
Note added by YC: the definition below of the cyclic sub-complex is incorrect; and the "higher order derivations" referred to here are traditionally known (since the 1940s) as n-cocycles.
