Higher-dimensional weak amenability
Bade, Curtis and Dales have introduced the idea of weak amenability. A commutative Banach algebra A is weakly amenable if there are no non-zero continuous derivations from A to A*. We extend this by defining an alternating n-derivation to be an alternating n-linear map from A to A* which is a derivation in each of its variables. Then we say that A is n-dimensionally weakly amenable if there are no non-zero continuous alternating n-derivations on A. Alternating n-derivations are the same as alternating...
Hochschild cohomology groups of certain algebras of analytic functions with coefficients in one-dimensional bimodules
We compute the algebraic and continuous Hochschild cohomology groups of certain Fréchet algebras of analytic functions on a domain U in with coefficients in one-dimensional bimodules. Among the algebras considered, we focus on A=A(U). For this algebra, our results apply if U is smoothly bounded and strictly pseudoconvex, or if U is a product domain.
Homology and cohomology of Rees semigroup algebras
Let S be a Rees semigroup, and let ℓ¹(S) be its convolution semigroup algebra. Using Morita equivalence we show that bounded Hochschild homology and cohomology of ℓ¹(S) are isomorphic to those of the underlying discrete group algebra.
