Cyclic homologies of crossed modules of algebras (Q692853)

A crossed module of (not necessarily unital) associative algebras consists of \((R,A,\rho)\), where \(R,A\) are two algebras such that there is an action of \(A\) on \(R\) and \(\rho: R\to A\) is an algebra homomorphism satisfying \(\rho(ar)=a\rho(r)\), \(\rho(ra)=\rho(r)a\), \(\rho(r)r'=rr'=r\rho(r')\). The Hochschild and cyclic homologies of crossed modules are studied in the paper. In particular, the paper extends Wodzicki's excision theorem to inclusion crossed modules. It also provides a long exact sequence connecting the cyclic and cotriple cyclic homologies of crossed modules.
