Hochschild (Co)Homology of Hopf Crossed Products*

Abstract

For a general crossed product E = A# f H, of an algebra A by a Hopf algebra H, we obtain complexes smaller than the canonical ones, giving the Hochschild homology and cohomology of E. These complexes are equipped with natural filtrations.The spectral sequences associated to them coincide with the ones obtained using a natural generalization of the of the direct method introduced in [H-S].We also get that if the 2-cocycle f takes its values in a separable subalgebra of A, then the Hochschild (co)homology of E with coefficients in M is the (co)homology of H with coefficients in a (co)chain complex.
