Hochschild cohomology of factors with property \(\Gamma\) (Q1423904): Difference between revisions

Let \({\mathcal M}\subset B(H)\) be a type \(\text{II}_1\) factor with property \(\Gamma\). It is proved that the continuous Hochschild cohomology groups \(H^k({\mathcal M},{\mathcal M})\) and \(H^k({\mathcal M},B(H))\) vanish for all \(k>0\). The method of proof involves the construction of hyperfinite subfactors with special properties and a new inequality of Grothendieck type for multilinear maps, which allows to prove joint continuity, with respect to the \(\| \cdot\| _2\)-norm, of separately ultraweakly continuous multilinear maps. This implies that \(H^k({\mathcal M},{\mathcal X})=H^k_{\text{cb}}({\mathcal M},{\mathcal X})\), \(k>0\), for any ultraweakly closed \({\mathcal M}\)-bimodule \({\mathcal X}\) lying between \({\mathcal M}\) and \(B(H)\), where \(H^k_{\text{cb}}\) denotes completely bounded cohomology. The main result follows from the vanishing of \(H^k_{\text{cb}}({\mathcal M},{\mathcal X})\) for \({\mathcal X}\) being either \({\mathcal M}\) or \(B(H)\) and for \(k>0\).
