Morita invariance in cyclic homology for nonunital algebras (Q1272522): Difference between revisions

We cite from the introduction: ``Let \(E\) and \(F\) be two linear subspaces of an algebra \(A\) over a field of characteristic zero and let \(A(EF)\), \(A(FE)\) be the subalgebras of \(A\) generated by \(EF\) and \(FE\), respectively. We show that \(A(EF)\) and \(A(FE)\) have the same periodic cyclic homology.'' The proof is based on the Cuntz-Quillen approach to cyclic homology which allows to calculate the periodic cyclic homology of ``universal'' algebras as the homology of particularly simple chain complexes.
