Abstract: We define a version of Hochschild homology and cohomology suitable for a class of algebras admitting compatible actions of bialgebras, called module algebras. We show this (co)homology, called Hopf--Hochschild (co)homology, can also be defined as a derived functor on the category of representations of a crossed product algebra. We investigate the relationship of our theory with Hopf cyclic cohomology and also prove Morita invariance of the Hopf--Hochschild (co)homology.


The author works in the following framework. Let \(B\) be a Hopf algebra acting on an associative algebra \(A\) and on an \(A\)-module \(V\). Moreover, the actions of \(A\) on \(V\) and of \(B\) on \(V\) are compatible. The author notices that the induced action of \(B\) on the Hochschild chain complex \(C_*(A,V)\) in general does not commute with differentials. The author considers a certain quotient of the Hochschild complex which is in fact a differential graded \(B\)-module. The main results of the paper describe the homology of the quotient complex in terms of the derived functors and prove Morita invariance of these homologies. Namely, if \(A\) and \(A'\) are two module \(B\)-algebras such that \(B\)-equivariant representations of \(A\) and \(A'\) are \(B\)-equivalent, then the corresponding quotient complexes are quasi-isomorphic.
