Hochschild homology of stable categories as topological chiral homology

Sorry for repost from Math Stack Exchange: Let $\mathscr{C}_0$ be a small idempotent complete stable category tensored over some symmetric monoidal category $\mathcal{E}$. Its Ind-completion $\mathscr{...

D-module theoretic Chern characters and an index-type theorem

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over $\mathbf{C}$. Consider the category $\mathbf{D}_{X}^{\text{perf}}$ of perfect complexes of left $D$-modules on $X$. It is well known that there is an ...

Why is Hochschild homology interesting if its cohomology groups are infinite-dimensional?

I am trying to understand Hochschild homology, in particular the Hochschild–Kostant–Rosenberg theorem. As far as I understand this result gives an isomorphism between the algebraic (Kähler) ...

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 ...

Inner automorphisms acts as identity on Hochschild homology

Let $A$ be a unital algebra and $u \in A$ be an invertible element. Let us consider $u_n(a_0 \otimes a_1 \otimes ... \otimes a_n):=ua_0u^{-1} \otimes ua_1u^{-1} \otimes ... \otimes ua_nu^{-1}$. Then $(...

Jacobi-Zariski exact sequence question

Denote by $HC(A,M)$ the Hochschild homological complex of an algebra $A$ with coefficients in an $A$-bimodule $M$, and let $B\rightarrow A$ be an $R$-flat extension of $R$-algebras, for some $CRing$ $...
