Multiplicative structure on the Hochschild cohomology of crossed product algebras

Publication date: 15 November 2005

Abstract: Consider a smooth affine algebraic variety

X

over an algebraically closed field, and let a finite group

G

act on it. We assume that the characteristic of the field is greater than the dimension of

X

and the order of

G

. An explicit formula for multiplication on the Hochschild cohomology of a crossed product of

k [G]

and

k [X]

is given in terms of multivector fields on

X

and

g

-invariant subvarieties of

X

for

g i n G

.
