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{...

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) ...

Hochschild coboundary on the space of alternative forms

Assume that $A$ is a complex algebra. By $C^{n}(A)$ we mean the space of all $n-$linear map $\phi:A^n \to \mathbb{C}$. An alternative $k-$ form is an element $\phi \in C^{k}(A)$ ...
