Hochschild (Co)Homology and Applications

Abstract

In 1945 Gerhard Hochschild published "On the cohomology groups of an associative algebra" in the "Annals of Mathematics" and thereby created what is now called Hochschild theory. The subject not only provides interesting homological invariants; it also serves as a link connecting algebra, topology, and geometry. The focus of the meeting was on recent developments, for instance in the study of singularities, deformations, and representations.
