On the cohomology of the Weyl algebra, the quantum plane, and the \(q\)-Weyl algebra. (Q392511)

Deformation theory of associative algebras is used for computations of the cohomology of a deformed algebra with coefficients in itself. These ideas are applied to a computation of cohomologies of Weyl algebras \(W_{qp}=k\langle x,y\rangle/(xy-qyx)\), \(W_q=k\langle x,y\rangle/(xy-qyx-1)\) which are deformations of a polynomial algebra in two variables.
