Calabi-Yau Frobenius algebras

We define Calabi-Yau and periodic Frobenius algebras over arbitrary base commutative rings. We define a Hochschild analogue of Tate cohomology, and show that the "stable Hochschild cohomology" of periodic CY Frobenius algebras has a Batalin-Vilkovisky and Frobenius algebra structure. Such algebras include (centrally extended) preprojective algebras of (generalized) Dynkin quivers, and group algebras of classical periodic groups. We use this theory to compute (for the first time) the Hochschild cohomology of many algebras related to quivers, and to simplify the description of known results. Furthermore, we compute the maps on cohomology from extended Dynkin preprojective algebras to the Dynkin ones, which relates our CY property (for Frobenius algebras) to that of Ginzburg (for algebras of finite Hochschild dimension).

Hochschild and cyclic homology of central extensions of preprojective algebras of ADE quivers

Let A be the central extension of the preprojective algebra of an ADE quiver introduced by P. Etingof and E. Rains in math/0503393. The paper math/0606403 computes the structure of the zeroth Hochschild (co)homology of A. We generalize the results of math/0606403 by calculating the additive structure of all the Hochschild homology and cohomology groups of A and the cyclic homology of A, and to describe the universal deformation of A. Namely, we show that the (co)homology is periodic with period 4, and compute the first four (co)homology groups in each case.

The calculus structure of the Hochschild homology/cohomology of preprojective algebras of Dynkin quivers

The Hochschild homology/cohomology an associative algebra, together with the Connes differential, the contraction map and the Lie derivative, forms the structure of calculus. In this paper we compute explicitely the calculus structure of preprojective algebras of Dynkin quivers over a field of characteristic zero. This also completes the work in math.AG/0502301, where the Batalin-Vilkovisky structure of the Hochschild cohomology of preprojective algebras of non-Dynkin quivers are computed and the calculus can be easily computed from that.

Koszulity and the Hilbert series of preprojective algebras

The goal of this paper is to prove that if Q is a connected non-Dynkin quiver then the preprojective algebra of Q over any field k is Koszul, and has Hilbert series 1/(1-Ct+t^2), where C is the adjacency matrix of the double of Q. (This result, in somewhat less general formulations, was previously obtained by Martinez-Villa and Malkin-Ostrik-Vybornov). We also prove a similar result for the partial preprojective algebra of any connected quiver Q, associated to a subset J of the set I of vertices of Q (by definition, this is the quotient of the path algebra of the double by the preprojective algebra relations imposed only at vertices not contained in J). Namely, we show that if J is not empty then this algebra is Koszul, and its Hilbert series is 1/(1-Ct+D_Jt^2), where D_J is the diagonal matrix with (D_J)_{ii}=0 if i is in J and (D_J)_{ii}=1 otherwise. Finally, we show that both results are valid in a slightly more general framework of modified preprojective algebras.
