We give explicit formulae for the continuous Hochschild and cyclic homology and cohomology of certain $$\widehat{\otimes }$$ -algebras. We use well-developed homological techniques together with some niceties of the theory of locally convex spaces to generalize the results known in the case of Banach algebras and their inverse limits to wider classes of topological algebras. To this end we show that, for a continuous morphism ϕ: x → y of complexes of complete nuclear DF-spaces, the isomorphism of cohomology groups H...
