On the hochschild cohomology of truncated cycle algebras (Q4947102)

Let \(k\) be a field, and \(A\) a finite-dimensional \(k\)-algebra. The \(n\)-th Hochschild cohomology group of \(A\) is defined to be \(H^n(A)=\text{Ext}^n_{A^e}(A,A)\), where \(A^e=A^{op}\otimes_kA\). The Hochschild cohomology ring is then defined to be \(H^\bullet(A)=\coprod_{n\geq 0}H^n(A)\) where multiplication is given by the Yoneda product. In this paper the authors compute all of the cohomology groups and describe the cohomology ring using generators and relations for algebras of the form \(A=kZ_e/J^N\), where \(Z_e\) is an oriented cycle with \(e\) vertices and \(J\) is the ideal generated by the arrows, \(N\geq 2\). A new description of the Yoneda product in \(H^\bullet(A)\) is given, and the authors prove that this is a finitely generated infinite-dimensional ring. In addition, the authors show that algebras of the form \(A=kZ_e/J^N\) are not derived equivalent unless they are isomorphic.
