Group cohomology and the cyclic cohomology of crossed products (Q583570)

The purpose of this paper is to study the cyclic cohomology of the algebraic crossed product \(A\times G\) of a unital associative algebra A by a discrete group G. The cyclic homotopy groups \(HC_*(A\times G)\) decompose as a direct sum of two subgroups (the homogeneous and inhomogeneous parts), the homogeneous part being obtained from a spectral sequence converging to it. If G is torsionfree and the normalizer has finite homological dimension, the S operator of the Connes exact sequences is nilpotent on the inhomogeneous part.
