Hochschild Cohomology of an Algebra Associated with a Circular Quiver

Abstract

In this article we show that an algebra A = K Γ/(f(X s )) has a periodic projective bimodule resolution of period 2, where KΓ is the path algebra of the circular quiver Γ with s vertices and s arrows over a commutative ring K, f(x) is a monic polynomial over K and X is the sum of all arrows in KΓ. Moreover, by means of this projective bimodule resolution, we compute the Hochschild cohomology group of A, and we give a presentation of the Hochschild cohomology ring HH*(A) by the generators and the relations in the case K is a field.
