The global decomposition theorem for Hochschild (co-)homology of singular spaces via the Atiyah-Chern character
The main result of the paper is that the classical Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg-Quillen theorem on the Hodge decomposition of Hochschild cohomology in the affine case extends to the global situation. Namely, that in the derived category \(D(X)\) there is a canonical isomorphism of graded \(\mathfrak{O}_X\)-algebras \(H_{X/Y}\equiv S(L[1])\), where \(H_{X/Y}\) denotes the Hochschild complex and \(S(L[1])\) denotes the derived symmetric powers of the shifted cotangent complex \(L\) of \(X\) over \(Y\). The proof uses characteristic classes, namely (divided and signed) powers of the Atiyah class. As an application the authors show that the semiregularity map for perfect complexes factors through Hochschild homology and, in turn, factors the Atiyah-Hochschild character through the characteristic homomorphism from Hochschild cohomology to the graded center of the derived category.
