Diagonalizable derivations of finite-dimensional algebras. II (Q5929044)

[For part I cf. the authors and \textit{C. Geiss}, Isr. J. Math. 117, 157-181 (2000; Zbl 0965.16023).] When an algebra is graded by a group, any additive character of the group induces a diagonalizable derivation of the ring. This construction is studied in detail for the case of a path algebra modulo relations and its fundamental group. We describe an injection of the character group into the first cohomology group following Assem-de la Peña. Rather general conditions are determined, in this context, which guarantee that a diagonalizable derivation is induced from the fundamental group.
