An alternate approach to the Lie bracket on Hochschild cohomology Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • 2016, International Press. We define Gerstenhaber's graded Lie bracket directly on complexes other than the bar complex, under some conditions, resulting in a practical technique for explicit computations. The Koszul complex of a Koszul algebra in particular satisfies our conditions. As examples we recover the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket for a polynomial ring and the Gerstenhaber bracket for a group algebra of a cyclic group of prime order.
