How to compute the periodic cyclic homology of this algebra

Let $k=\mathbb{C}$ be the field of complex numbers. I consider the (DG) algebra $A:=k[x]/(x^2)$ such that $\deg(x)=-1$. My question is how to compute the periodic cyclic homology, Hochschild homology ...

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 ...

Does a morphism which induces an isomorphism between Hochschild homology also induce an isomorphism between cyclic homology?

In a 1998 paper by B. Keller, the author consider the following problem in Section 1.4: Let $k$ be a commutative ring and $X$ a scheme over $k$. We can consider the cyclic homology as well as the ...

Hochschild Homology and Formal Geometry

My question concerns the degeneration of the spectral sequence computing Hochschild homology of differential operators on a smooth affine variety $X$. The spectral sequence arises from the ...

Confusion on summand of Hochschild homology of D-modules

I've encountered the following confusion. Start with the category of perfect D-modules on $\mathbb{A} ^{1}$, which I'll denote $D$. We have the object $\mathcal{O}$, which is exceptional in the sense ...

Does rational surface have exceptional collection of maximal length but not full?

Let $X$ be a rational surface. Let $\mathbb{E}:=(E_1,\ldots,E_n)$ be strong exceptional collection of line bundles of maximal length $l=rk Pic(X)+2$ in $D^b(coh(X))$, Is there any example that such ...

What is the negative cyclic homology of a smooth projective variety?

Let X be a smooth and projective variety. Hochschild homology and cohomology have a very simple definition in terms of Ext groups of the diagonal of X. The Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg (HKR) theorem ...

A mysterious quasi-isomorphism in Kashiwara-Schapira's proof of HKR

On p. 127 of Kashiwara-Schapira's paper "Deformation Quantization Modules", there is the following situation: $X$ is a smooth complex (quasi?)projective variety and $\delta\colon X\to X\times X$ is ...

Hochschild cohomology and formal smoothness

Hochschild cohomology can be used to characterise formal smoothness of unital associative algebras; in that such an algebra $A$ is formally smooth if and only if it is of Hochschild cohomological ...

Microlocalizing Hochschild homology

A recent paper of Ben-Zvi and Nadler gives a general formalism for understanding "dimensions" in sheaf theories. Without getting too far into details, amongst other things, this formalism allows us ...

On cyclic homology of Ginzburg's DG algebra

Let $(Q,W)$ be a quiver with potential, and $D$ be Ginzburg's DG algebra associated to it (as explained in http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0612139 and other places), so that it is a 3-Calabi-Yau algebra. I ...

Geometric realization of Hochschild complex

Let $A$ be a commutative $\mathbb{C}$-algebra, and consider $C_{\bullet}(A,A)$ the simplicial Hochschild homology module of $A$ with respect to itself (i.e. $C_{n}(A,A)=A^{\otimes (n+1)}$). This is a ...

Hochschild (co)homology of Fukaya categories and (quantum) (co)homology

There is a conjecture of Kontsevich which states that Hochschild (co)homology of the Fukaya category of a compact symplectic manifold $X$ is the (co)homology of the manifold. (See page 18 of ...

What is the homology of the real coordinate ring of SO(n,R)? Other compact matrix groups?

As someone whose knowledge of cohomology is patchy and picked up on a need-to-know basis, and whose algebraic geometry is even worse, I wondered if someone could help with this question. (I ran into ...
