Abstract: By a result of Gerstenhaber and Schack the simplicial cohomology ring $H^{\ast }(mathcalC;k)$ of a poset $mathcalC$ is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology ring $H{H}^{\ast }(kmathcalC)$ of the category algebra $kmathcalC$, where the poset is viewed as a category and $k$ is a field. Extending results of Mishchenko [6], under certain assumptions on a category $mathcalC$, we construct a category $mathcalD$ and a graded $k$-linear isomorphism $H{H}^{\ast }(kmathcalC)cong{H}^{\ast }(mathcalD;k)$. Interpreting the degree one cohomology, we also show how the $k$-space of derivations on $kmathcalC$, graded by some semigroup, corresponds to the $k$-space of characters on $mathcalD$.
