Cohomology of representation varieties and the Hochschild cohomology

Let $k$ be a field, $A$ a $k$-algebra, and $V$ a $k$-vector space. Then we can consider the representation varieties of $A$ on $V$: $\mathrm{Hom}_{k\textrm{-alg}}(A, \mathfrak{gl}(V))$ and $\mathrm{...

Representation functor on modules

Let $k$ be a field and $A$ a unital associative $k$-algebra. The representation functor associates, to each object in non-commutative geometry, a genuine geometric object on the representation variety ...

Noncommutative transcendence degree of representation algebras

Let $G$ be a reductive group, for example $\text{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Let $V$ denote its defining representation, and let $R$ denote the tensor algebra on the irreducible representations of $G$. It may ...

How to define explicitly the Kasparov product $ x \otimes_B y \in KK_{i+j}^G (A,C) $ of $x \in KK_i^G (A,B)$ and, $y \in KK_j^G (B,C)$?

Let $A,B,C$ be separable $G-C^*$ - algebras. Then there is a biadditive pairing for $i,j \in \mathbb{Z}_2$, $$ KK_i^G (A,B) \times KK_j^G (B,C) \to KK_{i+j}^G (A,C) $$ If $x \in KK_i^G (A,B)$ and, $y \...

Generalisation of the equivalence between $C^*(H)$ and $C_0(G/H) \rtimes G$; induction of group actions on C*-algebras

There is a well known Morita equivalence between the group C*-algebra $C^*(H)$ and $C_0(G/H) \rtimes G$, where $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. The corresponding equivalence of representations is an ...

On the definition of the Cherednik algebra of a variety with a finite group action

Let $X$ be a connected complex smooth affine variety, acted on by a finite group $G$. We define a reflection hypersurface $(Y,g)$ as a smooth codimension one subvariety $Y\subset X$ which is fixed by $...

Is a "smooth" finite-dimensional algebra separable modulo its radical?

Let $k$ be a field, and let us write the "unadorned" tensor $\otimes$ in place of $\otimes_k$. For a unital finite-dimensional $k$-algebra $A$, let $A^e = A \otimes A^{op}$ denote the enveloping ...
