Higher Order Hochschild (Co)homology of Noncommutative Algebras

Hochschild (co)homology and Pirashvili's higher order Hochschild (co)homology are useful tools for a variety of applications including deformations of algebras. When working with higher order Hochschild (co)homology, we can consider the (co)homology of any commutative algebra with symmetric coefficient bimodules, however traditional Hochschild (co)homology is able to be computed for any associative algebra with not necessarily symmetric coefficient bimodules. In a previous paper, the author generalized higher order Hochschild cohomology for multimodule coefficients (which need not be symmetric). In the current paper, we continue to generalize higher order Hochschild (co)homology to work with associative algebras which need not be commutative and in particular, show that simplicial sets admit such a generalization if and only if they are one dimensional.

Right Delocalization of Model Categories

Model categories have long been a useful tool in homotopy theory, allowing many generalizations of results in topological spaces to other categories. Giving a localization of a model category provides an additional model category structure on the same base category, which alters what objects are being considered equivalent by increasing the class of weak equivalences. In some situations, a model category where the class of weak equivalences is restricted from the original one could be more desirable. In this situation we need the notion of a delocalization. In this paper, right Bousfield delocalization is defined, we provide examples of right Bousfield delocalization as well as an existence theorem. In particular, we show that given two model category structures $\scr{M}_1$ and $\scr{M}_2$ we can define an additional model category structure $\scr{M}_1 \cap \scr{M}_2$ by defining the class of weak equivalences to be the intersection of the $\scr{M}_1$ and $\scr{M}_2$ weak equivalences. In addition we consider the model category on diagram categories over a base category (which is endowed with a model category structure) and show that delocalization is often preserved by the diagram model category structure.

Rigidification of Homotopy Algebras over Finite Product Sketches

Multi-sorted algebraic theories provide a formalism for describing various structures on spaces that are of interest in homotopy theory. The results of Badzioch and Bergner showed that an interesting feature of this formalism is the following rigidification property. Every multi-sorted algebraic theory defines a category of homotopy algebras, i.e. a category of spaces equipped with certain structure that is to some extent homotopy invariant. Each such homotopy algebra can be replaced by a weakly equivalent strict algebra which is a purely algebraic structure on a space. The equivalence between the homotopy categories of loop spaces and topological groups is a special instance of this result. In this paper we will introduce the notion of a finite product sketch which is a useful generalization of a multi-sorted algebraic theory. We will show that in the setting of finite product sketches we can still obtain results paralleling these of Badzioch and Bergner, although a rigidification of a homotopy algebra over a finite product sketch is given by a strict algebra over an associated multi-sorted algebraic theory.

Coefficients for Higher Order Hochschild Cohomology

When studying deformations of an $A$-module $M$, Laudal and Yau showed that one can consider 1-cocycles in the Hochschild cohomology of $A$ with coefficients in the bi-module $End_k(M).$ With this in mind, the use of higher order Hochschild (co)homology, presented by Pirashvili and Anderson, to study deformations seems only natural though the current definition allows only symmetric bi-module coefficients. In this paper we present an extended definition for higher order Hochschild cohomology which allows multi-module coefficients (when the simplicial sets $X_{\bullet}$ are accommodating) which agrees with the current definition. Furthermore we determine the types of modules that can be used as coefficients for the Hochschild cochain complexes based on the simplicial sets they are associated to.
