UNIVERSAL DEF ORMA TION F ORMULAS AND BRAIDED MODULE ALGEBRAS JORG E A. GUCCIONE, JUAN J. GUCCIONE, AND CHRISTIAN V ALQUI Abstract. W e study formal deformations of a crossed pro duct S ( V )# f G , of a p olynomial al gebra with a group, induced from a unive rsal deformation formula introduced by Witherspo on. These deformations ari se from braided actions of Hopf algebras generated by automorphisms and skew deriv ations. W e show that they are nont rivial in the cha racteristic f ree context , eve n if G is infinite, by showing that their infinitesimals are not cob oundaries. F or this we construct a new complex which computes the Ho c hschild cohomology of S ( V )# f G . In tro duction In [G-Z] Giaquinto and Z hang dev elop the notion of a universal de fo rmation formula based on a bia lgebra H , extending earlier for mulas based on universal env eloping algebras of Lie algebr as. Each one of these formulas is calle d universal beca use it provides a formal deformation for any H -mo dule algebra. In the sa me pap er the authors construct the first family of such for mulas based on no nc o mm utative bialgebras , namely the env eloping algebra s of central extensio ns of a Heisenberg Lie algebra L . Another of these for m ulas, based on a Hopf a lg ebra H q ov er C , where q ∈ C × is a para meter, gener ated by group like e le men ts σ ± 1 and t wo skew primitive elements D 1 , D 2 , were o btained in the gener ic c a se b y the same authors, but were not published. In [W] the author generalizes this formula to include the case where q is a ro ot of unity , and she uses it to construct for mal de fo rmations of a crossed pro duct S ( V )# f G , where S ( V ) is the po lynomial algebra and the group G acts linear ly on V . More pr e cisely , she deals with deformations whose infinitesimal sends V ⊗ V to S ( V ) w g , where g is a central element of G . In this pap er we prove that some r e sults established in [W] under the hypothesis that G is a finite group, remain v alid for arbitra ry groups, and with C replaced b y an a r bitrary field. F or ins tance we show that the deter minan t of the action of g on V is a lw ays 1. Moreov er, w e do not only co nsider standard H q -mo dule alg ebra structures on S ( V )# f G , but als o the more general o nes introduced in [G-G1], and we work with actions which dep end on tw o c e n tral elements g 1 and g 2 of G and t wo p olynomials P 1 and P 2 . When the actions a re the standard ones, g 1 = 1 and P 1 = 1, we o btain the case consider ed in [W]. Fina lly , in Subsection 3.2 we show how to extend the e xplicit formulas obtained previously , to non central g 1 and g 2 . 2000 Mathematics Subject Classific ation. Primary 16S80; Secondary 16S35.

GUCCIONE, AND CHRISTIAN V ALQUI As was noted by Withersp oo n, these formulas nec e ssarily inv olve all co mponents of S ( V )# f G corr espo nding to the elements of a union o f co njugacy classes of G . The pap er is or ganized as follows: in the fir s t section we review the concept of braided mo dule algebr a introduced in [G-G1], we adapt the notio n o f Universal Deformation F ormula (UDF) to the braided c o n text, and we show that ea c h one of these for m ulas pro duces a deforma tion on any bra ided H -mo dule alg ebra whose transp osition (see Definition 1.6) s atisfy a suitable hypothesis. W e re mark that, when the bialg e bra H is sta ndard, the use of braided mo dule algebr a gives rise to more defor mations than the o nes obtained using only mo dule algebr a s, b ecause the transp osition can b e different fro m the flip. With this in mind, although we are going to work with the standar d Hopf alg ebra H q , we establish the ba sic pro per ties of UDF’s in the bra ided case, b ecause it is the most appr o priate se tting to deal with arbitrary transp ositions. In the s e c ond section we recall the definitions of the Hopf a lg ebra H q and of the UDF e x p q considered in [W , Section 3], which we are going to s tudy . W e also intro duce the co nc e pt of a go o d transp osition of H q on a n algebra A , and we study s ome of its prop erties. Perhaps the most impo rtant result in this s ection is Theorem 2.4, in which we obtain a description of all the H q -mo dule algebras ( A, s ), with s a go o d tra nspo sition. This is the first of several results in which we give a systematic account of the necessar y and sufficient conditions that an alg ebra (in genera l a cro ssed pro duct S ( V )# f G ) must satisfy in order to supp ort a br aided H q -mo dule alg e bra structure satisfying suitable h yp othesis. In Section 4 of [W], using the UDF ex p q the author constructs a larg e family of deforma tions whose infinitesima l sends V ⊗ V to S ( V ) w g , wher e g is a central element of G . Using cohomolog ical metho ds she proves that if G is finite, these defor mations are non trivia l, that the action of g on V has determinant 1 and that the co dimension o f g V is 0 o r 2. In the firs t part of Section 3 we study a la r ger family of defor mations and we prov e that the last tw o r esults hold for this family even if G is infinite and the characteristic o f k is non zer o. Finally , in Sectio n 4 we show that, under very general hypo thesis, the deforma tio ns construc ted in the previo us section are non trivial. O nc e ag ain, we do not ass ume character istic zero, nor that the group G is finite. One o f the interesting p oints in this pap er is the metho d developed to deal with the cohomolo gy of S ( V )# f G when k [ G ] is non semisimple. As far as w e know it is the fir st time tha t this type of co chain complexe s is us ed to prov e the non triviality of a Ho chsc hild co cycle. 1 Preliminaries After introducing some ba s ic notations we rec a ll br iefly the concepts of bra ided bialgebra and braided Hopf a lgebra following the presentation given in [T1] (se e also [T2], [L1 ], [F-M-S], [A-S], [D], [So] and [B-K -L-T]). Then we review the no tio n of braided mo dule algebra intro duced in [G-G1], we rec a ll the concept of Universal Deformation F ormula based on a bialgebra H , due to Giaquinto a n Zha ng, and we show that s uc h a UDF pro duces a forma l defor mation when it is applied to an H -br aided mo dule algebra, satisfying suitable hypothes is, generalizing slightly a result in [G-Z]. In this pap er k is a field, k × = k \ { 0 } , all the vector space s are ov er k , and ⊗ = ⊗ k . Moreov er we will use the usual no tation ( i ) q = 1 + q + · · · + q i − 1 and ( i )! q = (1) q · · · ( i ) q , for q ∈ k × and i ∈ N . Let V , W b e vector spa ces a nd let c : V ⊗ W → W ⊗ V be a k -linea r map. Recall that: UNIVERSAL DEFORMA TION FORMULAS AND BRAIDED MODULE ALGEBRAS 3 - If V is a n algebr a , then c is compatible with the algebra structure o f V if c ( η ⊗ W ) = W ⊗ η and c ( µ ⊗ W ) = ( W ⊗ µ ) ( c ⊗ V ) ( V ⊗ c ), where η : k → V and µ : V ⊗ V → V denotes the unit a nd the multiplication map of V , resp ectively . - If V is a co a lgebra, then c is compatible with the coalgebr a structure of V if ( W ⊗ ǫ ) c = ǫ ⊗ W and ( W ⊗ ∆) c = ( c ⊗ V ) ( V ⊗ c ) (∆ ⊗ W ), where ǫ : V → k and ∆ : V → V ⊗ V denotes the counit and the co m ultiplication map of V , r espe c tiv ely . Of cours e, there are simila r co mpatibilities when W is an algebr a or a coalge br a. 1.1 Braided bialgebras a nd braided Hopf algebras Definition 1.1. A br aide d bialgebr a is a vector space H endow ed with an alge bra structure, a co algebra structure and a bra iding op erator c ∈ Aut k ( H ⊗ 2 ) (called the br ai d of H ), such tha t c is c ompatible with the a lgebra and coalg ebra structure s of H , ∆ µ = ( µ ⊗ µ ) ( H ⊗ c ⊗ H ) (∆ ⊗ ∆), η is a coalgebr a mor phism a nd ǫ is a n algebra morphism. F urthermore, if there exists a k -linea r map S : H → H , which is the inv erse of the identit y map for the conv olution pro duct, then we say tha t H is a br aide d Hopf algebr a and we call S the antip o de of H . Usually H denotes a braided bialgebr a, understanding the structure maps, and c denotes its braid. If necessa ry , we will use notations as c H , µ H , etcetera. R emark 1 .2 . Assume that H is a n a lgebra and a coalg ebra and c ∈ Aut k ( H ⊗ 2 ) is a s olution of the bra iding eq uation, which is co mpa tible with the algebr a and coalgebr a s tr uctures of H . Let H ⊗ c H b e the algebra with underlying vector spa ce H ⊗ 2 and multiplication map given by µ H ⊗ c H := ( µ ⊗ µ ) ( H ⊗ c ⊗ H ). It is ea sy to see that H is a bra ided bia lgebra with braid c if and o nly if ∆ : H → H ⊗ c H and ǫ : H → k a re morphisms of algebr as. Definition 1.3. Let H and L b e braide d bialgebra s . A map g : H → L is a morphism of br aid e d bialgebr a s if it is an algebra homomorphis m, a coalg ebra ho- momorphism and c ( g ⊗ g ) = ( g ⊗ g ) c . Let H and L b e braided Hopf algebr as. It is well k no wn that if g : H → L is a morphism of bra ided bia lgebras, then g S = S g . 1.2 Braided mo dule algebras Definition 1. 4. Let H b e a braided bialgebra . A left H -br aide d sp ac e ( V , s ) is a vector spa ce V , endow ed with a bijective k - line a r map s : H ⊗ V → V ⊗ H , which is compatible with the bialgebra structur e o f H and satisfies ( s ⊗ H ) ( H ⊗ s ) ( c ⊗ V ) = ( V ⊗ c ) ( s ⊗ H ) ( H ⊗ s ) (compatibility of s with the br aid). Let ( V ′ , s ′ ) be another left H -braide d space. A k -linear map f : V → V ′ is said to be a morphism of left H -br aide d sp ac es , from ( V , s ) to ( V ′ , s ′ ), if ( f ⊗ H ) s = s ′ ( H ⊗ f ). W e let LB H denote the categor y of all left H -braided spa ces. I t is easy to chec k that this is a mo noidal category with: - unit ( k , τ ), where τ : H ⊗ k → k ⊗ H is the flip, - tensor pr o duct ( V , s V ) ⊗ ( U, s U ) := ( V ⊗ U, s V ⊗ U ), where s V ⊗ U is the map s V ⊗ U := ( V ⊗ s U ) ( s V ⊗ U ), - the usual as so ciativit y and unit constr ain ts. 4 JORG E A. GUCCIONE, JUAN J. GUCCIONE, AND CHRISTIAN V ALQUI Definition 1 .5. W e will say that ( A, s ) is a left H -br aide d algebr a or simply a left H -algebr a if it is an algebra in LB H . W e let ALB H denote the catego ry o f left H -braided algebra s . Definition 1.6. Let A b e an alg ebra. A left tr ansp o sition of H o n A is a bijective map s : H ⊗ A → A ⊗ H , satisfying: (1) ( A, s ) is a left H -br aided spac e , (2) s is compa tible with the algebr a structur e o f A . R emark 1.7 . A left H -bra ided alge bra is a pa ir ( A, s ) co nsisting o f an a lgebra A and a left tra ns positio n s of H on A . Let ( A ′ , s ′ ) b e ano ther left H -br aided a lgebra. A map f : A → A ′ is a mor phism of left H -braided alg ebras, from ( A, s ) to ( A ′ , s ′ ), if and only if it is a morphis m of standard alge br as and ( f ⊗ H ) s = s ′ ( H ⊗ f ). Note that ( H , c ) is an algebr a in LB H . Hence, one ca n consider left and right ( H, c )-mo dules in this mo noidal ca teg ory . Definition 1 .8. W e will s ay that ( V , s ) is a left H -br aide d m o dule or simply a left H -mo dule to mean that it is a left ( H, c )-mo dule in LB H . W e let H ( LB H ) denote the categ ory of left H -braided mo dules. R emark 1.9 . A left H -br aided spac e ( V , s ) is a left H -mo dule if and only if V is a standard left H -mo dule and s ( H ⊗ ρ ) = ( ρ ⊗ H ) ( H ⊗ s ) ( c ⊗ V ) , where ρ denotes the a ction of H on V . F urthermor e, a map f : V → V ′ is a morphism of left H -mo dules , from ( V , s ) to ( V ′ , s ′ ), if and only if it is H -linear and ( f ⊗ H ) s = s ′ ( H ⊗ f ). Given left H -mo dules ( V , s V ) and ( U, s U ), with actions ρ V and ρ U resp ectively , we let ρ V ⊗ U denote the diago nal action ρ V ⊗ U := ( ρ V ⊗ ρ U ) ( H ⊗ s V ⊗ U ) (∆ H ⊗ V ⊗ U ) . The following prop osition says in particular that ( k , τ ) is a left H - mo dule via the trivial action and that ( V , s V ) ⊗ ( U, s U ) is a left H -mo dule via ρ V ⊗ U . Prop osition 1.10 (see [G-G1 ]) . The c ate gory H ( LB H ) , of left H -br aide d mo dules, endowe d with the usu al asso ciativity and unit c onstr aints, is monoidal. Definition 1.11. W e say that ( A, s ) is a left H -br aide d mo dule algebr a or simply a left H - mo d ule algebr a if it is an algebra in H ( LB H ). W e let H ( ALB H ) denote the categor y of left H -braided mo dule a lgebras. R emark 1.12 . ( A, s ) is a left H -mo dule algebra if and only if the following facts hold: (1) A is an alge br a, (2) s is a left tr anspo sition of H on A , (3) A is a standar d le ft H -mo dule, (4) s ( H ⊗ ρ ) = ( ρ ⊗ H ) ( H ⊗ s ) ( c ⊗ A ), (5) µ A ( ρ ⊗ ρ ) ( H ⊗ s ⊗ A ) (∆ H ⊗ A ⊗ A ) = ρ ( H ⊗ µ A ), (6) h · 1 = ǫ ( h )1 fo r all h ∈ H , where ρ de no tes the a ction of H on A . So, ( A, s ) is a le ft H -mo dule algebra if a nd only if it is a left H -algebr a, a left H -mo dule and s atisfies conditions (5) and (6). UNIVERSAL DEFORMA TION FORMULAS AND BRAIDED MODULE ALGEBRAS 5 In the sequel, given a map ρ : H ⊗ A → A , s ometimes we will write h · a to denotes ρ ( h ⊗ a ). R emark 1.1 3 . If X genera tes H as a k -algebr a, then co nditions (4), (5) and (6) o f the ab ov e rema rk ar e satisfied if and o nly if s ( h ⊗ l · a ) = ( ρ ⊗ H ) ( H ⊗ s ) ( c ⊗ A )( h ⊗ l ⊗ a ) , h · ( ab ) = µ A ( ρ ⊗ ρ ) ( H ⊗ s ⊗ A )(∆( h ) ⊗ a ⊗ b ) , h · 1 = ǫ ( h ) , for all a, b ∈ A and h, l ∈ X . Let ( A ′ , s ′ ) b e another left H -mo dule algebra . A map f : A → A ′ is a morphism of left H -m o dule algebr as , from ( A, s ) to ( A ′ , s ′ ), if and only if it is an H -linea r morphism of sta nda rd alg ebras that satisfies ( f ⊗ H ) s = s ′ ( H ⊗ f ). 1.3 Bialgebra actions and universal deformation form ulas Most o f the re sults of [G-Z, Sectio n 1] rema in v alid in our more g eneral context, with the same a rguments a nd minimal changes. In particular Theorem 1.1 5 b elow holds. Let H be a braided bialg ebra. Giv en a left H -mo dule algebra ( A, s ) a nd an element F ∈ H ⊗ H , we let F l : A ⊗ A → A ⊗ A denote the ma p defined by F l ( a ⊗ b ) := ( ρ ⊗ ρ ) ( H ⊗ s ⊗ A )( F ⊗ a ⊗ b ) , where ρ : H ⊗ A → A is the action o f H on A . W e let A F denote A endow ed with the multiplication map µ A F l . Definition 1.14. W e say that F ∈ H ⊗ H is a twisting element (b ase d on H ) if (1) ( ǫ ⊗ id)( F ) = (id ⊗ ǫ )( F ) = 1, (2) [(∆ ⊗ id)( F )]( F ⊗ 1) = [(id ⊗ ∆)( F )](1 ⊗ F ) in H ⊗ c H ⊗ c H , (3) ( c ⊗ H ) ( H ⊗ c )( F ⊗ h ) = h ⊗ F , for all h ∈ H . Theorem 1.15. L et ( A, s ) b e a left H -mo dule algebr a. If F ∈ H ⊗ H is a twisting element such that ( s ⊗ H ) ( H ⊗ s )( F ⊗ a ) = a ⊗ F , for al l a ∈ A , then A F is an asso ci ative algebr a with unit 1 A . The notions of braided bialg ebra, left H -braided mo dule alg ebra and twisting element make sense in arbitrary monoidal categorie s. Here we consider the monoi- dal categor y M [[ t ]] defined as follows: - the ob jects ar e the k [[ t ]]- mo dules of the form M [[ t ]] wher e M is a k -vector space, - the ar rows ar e the k [[ t ]]-linea r maps, - the tensor pro duct is the completation M [[ t ]] b ⊗ k [[ t ]] N [[ t ]] of the alge br aic tensor pr o duct M [[ t ]] ⊗ k [[ t ]] N [[ t ]] with resp ect to the t - adic top ology , - the unit and the asso ciativity constra ins are the evident o nes. W e identify M [[ t ]] b ⊗ k [[ t ]] N [[ t ]] with ( M ⊗ N )[[ t ]] by the map Θ : M [[ t ]] b ⊗ k [[ t ]] N [[ t ]] → ( M ⊗ N )[[ t ]] given by Θ ( mt i ⊗ nt j ) := ( m ⊗ n ) t i + j . 6 JORG E A. GUCCIONE, JUAN J. GUCCIONE, AND CHRISTIAN V ALQUI If A is a k -alg ebra, then A [[ t ]] is an a lgebra in M [[ t ]] v ia the multiplication map ( A ⊗ A )[[ t ]] µ / / A [[ t ]] P ( a i ⊗ b i ) t i / / P a i b i t i , where a i b i = µ A ( a i ⊗ b i ). The unit ma p is the cano nical inclusion k [[ t ]] ֒ → A [[ t ]]. If H is a braided bialg ebra ov er k , then H [[ t ]] is a braided bialg e bra in M [[ t ]]. The multiplication and unit maps are as ab ov e. The co multiplication and c ounits are the maps H [[ t ]] ∆ / / ( H ⊗ H )[[ t ]] P h i t i / / P ∆ H ( h i ) t i and H [[ t ]] ǫ / / k [[ t ]] P h i t i / / P ǫ H ( h i ) t i , and the braid op era to r is the map ( H ⊗ H )[[ t ]] c [[ t ]] / / ( H ⊗ H )[[ t ]] P ( h i ⊗ l i ) t i / / P c H ( h i ⊗ l i ) t i . If ( A, s ) is a H -mo dule alge br a, then ( A [[ t ]] , s [[ t ]]), where s [[ t ]] is the map ( H ⊗ A )[[ t ]] s [[ t ]] / / ( A ⊗ H )[[ t ]] P ( h i ⊗ a i ) t i / / P s ( h i ⊗ a i ) t i , is an H [[ t ]]-mo dule algebra , via ( H ⊗ A )[[ t ]] ρ / / A [[ t ]] P ( h i ⊗ a i ) t i / / P ρ A ( h i ⊗ a i ) t i . A twisting element based on H [[ t ]] in M [[ t ]] is an element F ∈ H [[ t ]] b ⊗ k [[ t ]] H [[ t ]] satisfying conditions (1)–(3) of Definition 1.1 4 . It is easy to chec k that a p ow er series F = P F i t i ∈ ( H ⊗ H )[[ t ]] corres ponds via Θ − 1 to a twisting element if and only if (1) ( ǫ ⊗ id)( F 0 ) = (id ⊗ ǫ )( F 0 ) = 1 and ( ǫ ⊗ id)( F i ) = (id ⊗ ǫ )( F i ) = 0 for i ≥ 1, (2) F or all n ≥ 0 , X i + j = n (∆ ⊗ id)( F i )( F j ⊗ 1) = X i + j = n (id ⊗ ∆)( F i )(1 ⊗ F j ) in H ⊗ c H ⊗ c H , (3) ( c ⊗ H ) ( H ⊗ c )( F n ⊗ h ) = h ⊗ F n , for all h ∈ H and n ≥ 0. W e will say that F is a n u niversal deformation formula (UDF) b ase d on H if, moreov er, F 0 = 1 ⊗ 1. Theorem 1. 16. L et ( A, s ) b e a left H -mo dule algebr a .

UNIVERSAL DEFORMA TION FORMULAS AND BRAIDED MODULE ALGEBRAS 7 2 H q -mo dule algebra structures and deformations In this section, w e briefly review the construction of the Hopf alg ebra H q and the UDF exp q based on H q considered in [W], we introduce the notion of a g o o d transp osition of H q on an alg ebra A , and we describ e all the braided H q -mo dule algebras whose transp osition is g oo d. Let q ∈ k × and let H be the algebr a genera ted by D 1 , D 2 , σ ± 1 , sub ject to the relations D 1 D 2 = D 2 D 1 , σ σ − 1 = σ − 1 σ = 1 and q σ D i = D i σ for i = 1 , 2, It is easy to check that H is a Hopf alg ebra with ∆( D 1 ) := D 1 ⊗ σ + 1 ⊗ D 1 , ǫ ( D 1 ) := 0 , S ( D 1 ) := − D 1 σ − 1 , ∆( D 2 ) := D 2 ⊗ 1 + σ ⊗ D 2 , ǫ ( D 2 ) := 0 , S ( D 2 ) := − σ − 1 D 2 , ∆( σ ) := σ ⊗ σ, ǫ ( σ ) := 1 , S ( σ ) := σ − 1 . If q is a primitive l -ro ot of unity with l ≥ 2, then the ideal I of H generated by D l 1 and D l 2 is a Hopf idea l. So , the quotient H /I is also a Hopf a lgebra. Let H q := ( H/ I if q is a primitive l -r oo t of unity with l ≥ 2, H if q = 1 or it is not a ro ot o f unity . The Hopf alg ebra H q was considered in the pap er [W], where it was proved tha t exp q ( tD 1 ⊗ D 2 ) := l − 1 X i =0 1 ( i )! q ( tD 1 ⊗ D 2 ) i if q is a primitive l -r oo t of unity ( l ≥ 2), ∞ X i =0 1 ( i ) q ! ( tD 1 ⊗ D 2 ) i if q = 1 or it is not a ro ot of unit y , is an UDF base d o n H q . 2.1 Go o d tra nsp ositions of H q on an a lgebra One o f our main purp oses in this pa per is to construc t formal deformation o f a lge- bras by using the UDF exp q ( tD 1 ⊗ D 2 ). By Theorem 1.16, it will b e sufficient to obtain examples of H q -mo dule algebras ( A, s ), whose underlying transp ositions s satisfy ( s ⊗ H q ) ( H q ⊗ s )( D 1 ⊗ D 2 ⊗ a ) = a ⊗ D 1 ⊗ D 2 for all a ∈ A . ( 2.1) Definition 2. 1. A k -linear map s : H q ⊗ A → A ⊗ H q is go o d if condition (2.1) is fulfilled. It is evident that s : H q ⊗ A → A ⊗ H q is go o d if and only if ther e exists a bijectiv e k -linea r map α : A → A such that s ( D 1 ⊗ a ) = α ( a ) ⊗ D 1 and s ( D 2 ⊗ a ) = α − 1 ( a ) ⊗ D 2 for all a ∈ A . Lemma 2.2. L et k [ σ ± 1 ] denote the subHopfalgebr a of H q gener ate d by σ . Each tr ansp osition s : H q ⊗ A → A ⊗ H q takes k [ σ ± 1 ] ⊗ A onto A ⊗ k [ σ ± 1 ] . Pr o of. Let τ b e the flip. Since τ s − 1 τ is a transp osition, it suffices to pr o ve that s ( σ ± 1 ⊗ a ) ∈ A ⊗ k [ σ ± 1 ] for all a ∈ A . W rite s ( σ ⊗ a ) = X ij k γ ij k ( a ) ⊗ σ i D j 1 D k 2 . 8 JORG E A. GUCCIONE, JUAN J. GUCCIONE, AND CHRISTIAN V ALQUI Since S 2 ( D 1 ) = q − 1 D 1 , S 2 ( D 2 ) = q D 2 and S 2 ( σ ± 1 ) = σ ± 1 , we have X ij k γ ij k ( a ) ⊗ σ i D j 1 D k 2 = s ( σ ⊗ a ) = s ( S 2 ⊗ A )( σ ⊗ a ) = ( A ⊗ S 2 ) s ( σ ⊗ a ) = X ij k q k − j γ ij k ( a ) ⊗ σ i D j 1 D k 2 , and so γ ij k = 0 for j 6 = k . Using now that X ij γ ij j ( a ) ⊗ ∆( σ ) i ∆( D 1 ) j ∆( D 2 ) j = ( A ⊗ ∆) s ( σ ⊗ a ) = ( s ⊗ H q ) ( H q ⊗ s ) (∆ ⊗ A )( σ ⊗ a ) = X ij i ′ j ′ γ i ′ j ′ j ′ ( γ ij j ( a )) ⊗ σ i ′ D j ′ 1 D j ′ 2 ⊗ σ i D j 1 D j 2 , it is easy to chec k that γ ij j = 0 if j > 0 (use that in each term of the r igh t side the exp onen t o f D 1 equals the exp onent of D 2 ). F or σ − 1 the s ame argument carr ies ov er. This finishes the pro of. In the following re sult we o btain a characterization o f the go o d transp ositions of H q on an alg ebra A . Theorem 2.3. The fol lowing facts hold: (1) If s : H q ⊗ A → A ⊗ H q is a go o d tr ansp osi tion, then s ( σ ± 1 ⊗ a ) = a ⊗ σ ± 1 for al l a ∈ A and the map α : A → A , define d by s ( D 1 ⊗ a ) = α ( a ) ⊗ D 1 , is an algebr a homomorphism. (2) Given an algebr a automorphism α : A → A , ther e exists only one go o d tr ansp osition s : H q ⊗ A → A ⊗ H q such that s ( D 1 ⊗ a ) = α ( a ) ⊗ D 1 for al l a ∈ A . Pr o of. (1) By L e mma 2.2, we know tha t s induces b y res tr iction a tra nspo sition of k [ σ ± 1 ] on A . Hence, by [G-G1, Theorem 4.14], there is a sup eralgebra str uc tur e A = A + ⊕ A − such that s ( σ i ⊗ a ) = ( a ⊗ σ i if a ∈ A + , a ⊗ σ − i if a ∈ A − . Let α : A → A b e as in the statement. Since σ is a transp ositio n, if a ∈ A − , then α ( a ) ⊗ D 1 ⊗ σ + α ( a ) ⊗ 1 ⊗ D 1 = ( A ⊗ ∆) s ( D 1 ⊗ a ) = ( s ⊗ H q ) ( H q ⊗ s ) (∆ ⊗ A )( D 1 ⊗ a ) = α ( a ) ⊗ D 1 ⊗ σ − 1 + α ( a ) ⊗ 1 ⊗ D 1 . So, A − = 0. Finally , α is an alg ebra ho momorphism, b ecause s ( h ⊗ 1) = 1 ⊗ h for ea c h h ∈ H q and s ( H q ⊗ µ A ) = ( µ A ⊗ H q ) ( A ⊗ s ) ( s ⊗ A ) . (2) By item (1) a nd the comment pr e ceding Lemma 2.2, it must b e s ( σ ± 1 ⊗ a ) = a ⊗ σ ± 1 , s ( D 1 ⊗ a ) = α ( a ) ⊗ D 1 and s ( D 2 ⊗ a ) = α − 1 ( a ) ⊗ D 2 . So, necessar ily s ( σ i D j 1 D k 2 ⊗ a ) = α j − k ( a ) ⊗ σ i D j 1 D k 2 . W e leav e to the rea der the task to prov e that s is a g o o d transp osition. UNIVERSAL DEFORMA TION FORMULAS AND BRAIDED MODULE ALGEBRAS 9 2.2 Some H q -mo dule algebra structures Let A b e an algebr a. Let us consider k -linear ma ps ς , δ 1 , δ 2 : A → A . It is evident that there is a (necessarily unique) a ction ρ : H q ⊗ A → A s uc h that ρ ( σ ⊗ a ) = ς ( a ) , ρ ( D 1 ⊗ a ) = δ 1 ( a ) and ρ ( D 2 ⊗ a ) = δ 2 ( a ) (2.2) for all a ∈ A , if a nd o nly if the maps ς , δ 1 and δ 2 satisfy the following conditions: (1) ς is a bijective map, (2) δ 1 δ 2 = δ 2 δ 1 , (3) q ς δ i = δ i ς for i = 1 , 2. (4) If q 6 = 1 and q l = 1, then δ l 1 = δ l 2 = 0. Let s : H q ⊗ A → A ⊗ H q be a go o d tr anspo sition a nd let α b e the as so c iated automorphism. Let ς , δ 1 and δ 2 be k -linear endo morphisms of A s a tisfying (1)– (4). Next, we determine the conditions that ς , δ 1 and δ 2 m ust satisfy in order that ( A, s ) bec omes an H q -mo dule algebr a via the action ρ defined by (2.2). Theorem 2.4. ( A, s ) is an H q -mo dule algebr a via ρ if and only if: (5) ς is an algebr a aut omorph ism, (6) α δ i = δ i α for i = 1 , 2 , (7) α ς = ς α , (8) δ i (1) = 0 for i = 1 , 2 , (9) δ 1 ( ab ) = δ 1 ( a ) ς ( b ) + α ( a ) δ 1 ( b ) for al l a, b ∈ A , (10) δ 2 ( ab ) = δ 2 ( a ) b + ς α − 1 ( a ) δ 2 ( b ) for al l a, b ∈ A . Pr o of. Assume that ( A, s ) is an H q -mo dule alg ebra and let τ : H q ⊗ H q → H q ⊗ H q be the flip. E v alua ting the equality s ( H q ⊗ ρ ) = ( ρ ⊗ H q ) ( H q ⊗ s ) ( τ ⊗ A ) successively o n D 1 ⊗ D i ⊗ a and D 1 ⊗ σ ⊗ a with i ∈ { 1 , 2 } a nd a ∈ A a r bitrary , we verify that items (6) and (7) are s atisfied. Item (8) follows fro m the fact that D 1 · 1 = D 2 · 1 = 0. Finally , using that σ · 1 = 1 and ev aluating the equality ρ ( H q ⊗ µ A ) = µ A ( ρ ⊗ ρ ) ( H q ⊗ s ⊗ A ) (∆ ⊗ A ⊗ A ) on σ ⊗ a ⊗ b and D i ⊗ a ⊗ b , with i = 1 , 2 and a, b ∈ A ar bitr ary , we see that items (5), (9) and (10) hold. So, conditions (5)–(1 0) are necessary . By Remar k 1.1 3, in o r der to verify that they are a ls o sufficient, it is enough to chec k that they imply that h · 1 = ǫ ( h ) , s ( h ⊗ l · a ) = ( ρ ⊗ H q ) ( H q ⊗ s )( l ⊗ h ⊗ a ) , h · ( ab ) = µ A ( ρ ⊗ ρ ) ( H q ⊗ s ⊗ A )(∆( h ) ⊗ a ⊗ b ) , for all a, b ∈ A and h, l ∈ { D 1 , D 2 , σ ± 1 } . W e leav e this task to the reader. Note that condition (8 ) in Theorem 2.4 is redundant since it can b e obtained by applying condition (9) and (10) with a = b = 1. 10 JORG E A. GUCCIONE, JUAN J. GUCCIONE, AND CHRISTIAN V ALQUI 3 H q -mo dule algebra structures on crossed pro ducts Let G be a gr oup endow ed with a repr esent ation on a k -vector spa ce V of dimen- sion n . Cons ider the symmetric k -a lgebra S ( V ) eq uipped with the unique action of G by auto morphisms that extends the actio n of G on V and ta k e A = S ( V )# f G , where f : G × G → k × is a normal co cycle. B y definition the k -alge br a A is a free left S ( V )-mo dule with basis { w g : g ∈ G } . Its pro duct is g iv en by ( P w g )( Qw h ) := P g Qf ( g , h ) w gh , where g Q denotes the action of g on Q . This sectio n is devoted to the study of the H q -mo dule algebras ( A, s ), with s go o d, that satisfy: s ( H q ⊗ V ) ⊆ V ⊗ H q , s ( H q ⊗ k w g ) ⊆ k w g ⊗ H q , σ · v ∈ V and σ · w g ∈ k w g , for all v ∈ V a nd g ∈ G . In Theo r em 3.5 we give a general characterizatio n of these mo dule a lgebras, a nd in Subsection 3.1 we consider a s p ecific ca se which is more suitable for finding concr ete examples , and we study it in detail. Finally in Sub- section 3.2 we consider the ca se where the co cycle involv es several no n necessar ily central elements o f G . In the following prop osition we ch ara cterize the g o o d transp ositions s o f H q on A satisfying the hypothesis mentioned ab ov e. By theo r em 2 .3 this is eq uiv alent to require that the k -linear map α : A → A ass o cia ted with α , takes V to V and k w g to k w g for all g ∈ G . Prop osition 3.1. L et ˆ α : V → V b e a k -line ar m ap and χ α : G → k × a map. Ther e is a go o d tra nsp osition s : H q ⊗ A → A ⊗ H q , such that s ( D 1 ⊗ v ) = ˆ α ( v ) ⊗ D 1 and s ( D 1 ⊗ w g ) = χ α ( g ) w g ⊗ D 1 for al l v ∈ V and g ∈ G , if and only if ˆ α is a bije ctiv e k [ G ] -line ar map and χ α is a gr oup homomorphism. Pr o of. By Theorem 2 .3 we know that s exists if a n only if the k -linear map α : A → A defined by α ( v 1 · · · v m w g ) := ˆ α ( v 1 ) · · · ˆ α ( v m ) χ α ( g ) w g , is an automo rphism. B ut, if this happ ens, then a) χ α is a mor phism since χ α ( g ) χ α ( h ) f ( g , h ) w gh = α ( w g ) α ( w h ) = α ( w g w h ) = χ α ( g h ) f ( g , h ) w gh for all g , h ∈ G , b) ˆ α is a bijective k [ G ]-linear map, since it is the r estriction and c orrestriction of α to V , and ˆ α ( g v ) = α ( w g ) ˆ α ( v ) α ( w − 1 g ) = χ α ( g ) w g ˆ α ( v )( χ α ( g ) w g ) − 1 = w g ˆ α ( v ) w − 1 g = g ˆ α ( v ) . Conv ersely , if ˆ α is a bijective map then α is also, and if ˆ α is a k [ G ]-linear map and χ α is a mor phism, then α ( w g ) ˆ α ( v ) = χ α ( g ) w g ˆ α ( v ) = g ˆ α ( v ) χ α ( g ) w g = ˆ α ( g v ) α ( w g ) and α ( w g ) α ( w h ) = χ α ( g ) w g χ α ( h ) w h = f ( g , h ) χ α ( g h ) w gh = α ( f ( g , h ) w gh ) , for all v ∈ V a nd g , h ∈ G , fro m which it follows eas ily tha t α is a morphism. Let A = S ( V )# f G b e a s ab ov e. Throughout this section w e fix a mor phism χ α : G → k × and a bijective k [ G ]-linear map ˆ α : V → V , and we let α : A → A denote the automor phism deter mined by ˆ α and χ α . Moreover we will call s : H q ⊗ A → A ⊗ H q UNIVERSAL DEFORMA TION FORMULAS AND BRAIDED MODULE ALGEBRAS 11 the go o d transp osition a sso ciated with α . O ur purp ose is to obtain all the H q -mo- dule algebr a structur es on ( A, s ) such that σ · v ∈ V and σ · w g ∈ k w g for all v ∈ V a nd g ∈ G . (3.3) Under these res trictions we obtain conditions which allow us to constr uct a ll H q - module structures in concrete examples . Thanks to Theorem 1.16 and the fact that exp q ( tD 1 ⊗ D 2 ) is an UDF based on H q , each one of thes e examples pro duces automatically a fo r mal deformation of A . First note that given an H q -mo dule algebra structure o n ( A, s ) s a tisfying (3.3), we can define k -linea r maps ˆ δ 1 : V → A, ˆ δ 2 : V → A and ˆ ς : V → V and maps δ 1 : G → A, δ 2 : G → A and χ ς : G → k × , by ˆ δ i ( v ) := D i · v , ˆ ς ( v ) := σ · v , δ i ( g ) := D i · w g and σ · w g := χ ς ( g ) w g . Lemma 3. 2. L et ˆ ς : V → V b e a k -line ar map and χ ς : G → k × b e a map. Then, the map ς : A → A define d by ς ( v 1 m w g ) := ˆ ς ( v 1 ) · · · ˆ ς ( v m ) χ ς ( g ) w g , is a k -algebr a automorphism if and only if ˆ ς is a bije ctive k [ G ] -line ar map and χ ς is a gr oup homomorphism.

(3.4) (2) The m ap δ 2 : A → A given by δ 2 ( v 1 m w g ) := m X j =1 ς α − 1 ( v 1 ,j − 1 ) ˆ δ 2 ( v j ) v j +1 ,m w g + ς α − 1 ( v 1 m ) δ 2 ( g ) is wel l define d if and only if ˆ δ 2 ( v ) w + ς ˆ α − 1 ( v ) ˆ δ 2 ( w ) = ˆ δ 2 ( w ) v + ς ˆ α − 1 ( w ) ˆ δ 2 ( v ) for al l v , w ∈ V . (3.5 ) Pr o of. W e prove the first assertion and leav e the s econd o ne , which is similar , to the reader . The only if part follows immedia tely by noting that ˆ δ 1 ( v ) ˆ ς ( w ) + ˆ α ( v ) ˆ δ 1 ( w ) = δ 1 ( v w ) = δ 1 ( wv ) = ˆ δ 1 ( w ) ˆ ς ( v ) + ˆ α ( w ) ˆ δ 1 ( v ) . In order to prove the if part it suffices to chec k that δ 1 ( v 1 · · · v i − 1 v i +1 v i v i +2 · · · v m w g ) = δ 1 ( v 1 m w g ) for all i < m , which follows ea sily from the hypothesis.

(2) Items (2)(a) and (2)(b) of L emma 3.4 ar e satisfie d if and only if (a) ker ˆ δ 2 is a G -submo dule of V , (b) g 2 b elo ngs to t he c enter of G , (c) g P 2 = λ 2 g χ α ( g ) χ − 1 ς ( g ) f − 1 ( g , g 2 ) f ( g 2 , g ) P 2 , for al l g ∈ G . Pr o of. W e prove item 1) and we leav e item 2) to the reader . S ince δ 1 = 0 , it is sufficient to prove that ˆ δ 1 ( g v ) χ ς ( g ) w g = χ α ( g ) w g ˆ δ 1 ( v ) for all v ∈ V and g ∈ G , (3.7) if and only if co nditions (1)(a), (1 )(b) and (1)(c) are satisfied. W e can as sume that v ∈ { x 1 } ∪ ker ˆ δ 1 . When v ∈ ker ˆ δ 1 , then equality (3.7) is true if a nd only if g v ∈ ker ˆ δ 1 . Now, since ˆ δ 1 ( g x 1 ) χ ς ( g ) w g = λ 1 g P 1 w g 1 χ ς ( g ) w g = λ 1 g P 1 χ ς ( g ) f ( g 1 , g ) w g 1 g and χ α ( g ) w g ˆ δ 1 ( x 1 ) = χ α ( g ) w g P 1 w g 1 = χ α ( g ) g P 1 f ( g , g 1 ) w gg 1 , equality (3.7) is true for v = x 1 and g ∈ G if a nd only if conditions (1)(b) and (1)(c) are satisfied. Pr o of of The or em 3.6. First note that item (1) coincide with item (1) of Theo- rem 3 .5 and that, by Lemmas 3.7 and 3 .8, item (2) of Theorem 3 .5 is eq uiv ale nt to items (2)–(6). Item (4) of Theorem 3.5 and tw o o f the equalities in item (6) of the same theorem, ar e tr iv ially satisfied b ecause δ 1 = δ 2 = 0. Since ˆ δ i ˆ α ( x i ) = ν i ˆ δ i ( x i ) = ν P i w g i and α ˆ δ i ( x i ) = α ( P i w g i ) = α ( P i ) χ α ( g i ) w g i , item (3) of Theor em 3.5 is true if and only if item (7 ) and the se c ond equality in item (9) hold. Since ˆ α is k [ G ]-linear , item (5) of Theorem 3.5 is an immediate con- sequence of item (2) of T heo rem 3.6. Finally we consider the no n- trivial eq ualities in item (6) of Theorem 3.5. It is easy to see that ˆ δ i ˆ ς ( x i ) = q ς ˆ δ i ( x i ) if a nd only if the first equa lit y in item (9) holds. O n the other ha nd ˆ δ i ˆ ς ( v ) = q ς ˆ δ i ( v ) for all v ∈ ker ˆ δ i if a nd only if ˆ ς (ker ˆ δ i ) ⊆ ker ˆ δ i , whic h fo llo ws from items (2), (4) and (7). The equality δ 2 ˆ δ 1 ( v ) = δ 1 ˆ δ 2 ( v ) is tr ivially satisfied for v ∈ ker ˆ δ 1 ∩ ker ˆ δ 2 , and for v ∈ { x 1 , x 2 } it is equiv alent to item (8). Lastly , the remaining equality coincides with item (10). R emark 3.9 . The following facts hold: 16 JORG E A. GUCCIONE, JUAN J. GUCCIONE, AND CHRISTIAN V ALQUI - Since ˆ α and ˆ ς are bijective k [ G ]-linear maps, fr om item (2) Theorem 3.6 it follows that g − 1 1 v = g 2 v for all v ∈ ker ˆ δ 1 ∩ ker ˆ δ 2 . (3.8) - Since x 1 ∈ ker ˆ δ 2 and k er ˆ δ 2 is G -stable, g x 1 − λ 1 g x 1 ∈ ker ˆ δ 1 ∩ ker ˆ δ 2 . Similarly g x 2 − λ 1 g x 2 ∈ ker ˆ δ 1 ∩ ker ˆ δ 2 . - Since ker ˆ δ i is a G -submo dule o f V and the k -linear map V / / V v / / g v is an isomor phis m fo r each g ∈ G , it is impos sible that g x i ∈ ker ˆ δ i . Con- sequently , λ ig ∈ k × for ea c h g ∈ G . Moreov er, using ag ain that ker ˆ δ i is a G -submo dule of V , it is easy to s ee that the map g 7→ λ ig is a group homomorphism. Items (1), (2), (4), (7) and the fact that ˆ α is bijective imply that also ω 1 , ω 2 , ν 1 , ν 2 ∈ k × . - Since ˆ ς ( x 1 ) = ˆ α ( g 2 x 1 ) ≡ λ 1 g 2 ˆ α ( x 1 ) ≡ λ 1 g 2 ν 1 x 1 (mo d k er ˆ δ 1 ) , we hav e ω 1 = λ 1 g 2 ν 1 . A similar ar g umen t shows that ν 2 = λ 2 g 1 ω 2 . Corollary 3.10 . Assume that the c onditio ns ab ove The or em 3.6 ar e fu lfi l le d and that ther e ex ists an H q -mo dule algebr a structu r e on ( A, s ) satisfying σ · v = ˆ ς ( v ) , σ · w g = χ ς ( g ) w g , D i · v = ˆ δ i ( v ) and D i · w g = 0 for al l v ∈ V , g ∈ G and i ∈ { 1 , 2 } . If P 1 ∈ S (ker ˆ δ 1 ) and P 2 ∈ S (ker ˆ δ 2 ) , then λ 1 g 1 λ 1 g 2 = q and λ 2 g 1 λ 2 g 2 = q − 1 . Mor e over g 0 := g 1 g 2 has determinant 1 as an op er a tor on V . Pr o of. By items (9), (2) a nd (5) of Theor em 3.6, q − 1 ω 1 χ − 1 ς ( g 1 ) P 1 = ς ( P 1 ) = g − 1 1 ˆ α ( P 1 ) = ν 1 χ − 1 α ( g 1 ) g − 1 1 P 1 = ν 1 λ − 1 1 g 1 χ − 1 ς ( g 1 ) P 1 . Hence λ 1 g 1 λ 1 g 2 = q as we wan t, since ω 1 = ν 1 λ 1 g 2 . The pro of that λ 2 g 1 λ 2 g 2 = q − 1 is similar . It rema ins to check that det( g 0 ) = 1. Since k er ˆ δ 1 and ker ˆ δ 2 are G - inv ariant, we hav e g x 1 ∈ ker ˆ δ 2 and g x 2 ∈ ker ˆ δ 1 for all g ∈ G , and so g 0 x 1 ∈ λ 1 g 1 λ 1 g 2 x 1 + W and g 0 x 2 ∈ λ 2 g 1 λ 2 g 2 x 1 + W, where W = ker ˆ δ 1 ∩ ker ˆ δ 2 . Moreover, by Rema rk 3 .9 we know that g 0 acts as the ident ity ma p o n W and hence det( g 0 ) = λ 1 g 1 λ 1 g 2 λ 2 g 1 λ 2 g 2 = 1. R emark 3.11 . A particular case is the H q -mo dule algebra A considered in [W, Section 4], in w hich P 1 = 1, g 1 = 1 and ˆ α is the identit y ma p. Our P 2 , g 2 and f corr espo nd in [W] to s , g and α , resp ectively . Our computatio ns s how that the condition that h ( s ) = x 1 ( h ) x 2 ( h ) α ( g , h ) α − 1 ( h, g ) s , which app ears a s informed b y the cohomolo gy of finite gr oups in [W], is in fact necessar y for the existence o f the H q -mo dule alge br a structure of A , and it do es not dep end on cohomolo gical consideratio ns. In particular we need this condition for any group G , finite or not. Similarly the conditions that g is central and det( g ) = 1 are necessary even for infinite groups .

The following re sult is a sort of a reformulation of The o rem 3.6, more appropria te to co nstruct explicit examples. The only new hypothesis that we need is that P i ∈ S ( V i ). Corollary 3. 12.

Pr o of. ⇐ ) By a), b), c) and d), it is o b vious that items (1), (2), (3), (4 ) and (7) of Theorem 3.6 ar e satisfied. Moreover items (2), (3), (5) a nd (6) are items (5), (6), (8) and (10) of Theorem 3.6 . So, we o nly must to chec k that item (9) of Theo r em 3.6 is satisfied. But the second equality in this item is exactly the o ne re quired in item (4) of the present coro llary , and we ar e go ing to chec k that the first o ne is true with q = λ 1 g 1 λ 1 g 2 . Arg uing a s in Remark 3.9, a nd using item (2) with g = g 1 , item (1) and item (4), we obtain q − 1 ω 1 χ − 1 ς ( g 1 ) P 1 = q − 1 λ 1 g 2 ν 1 χ − 1 ς ( g 1 ) P 1 = q − 1 λ 1 g 1 λ 1 g 2 ν 1 χ − 1 α ( g 1 ) g − 1 1 P 1 = ν 1 χ − 1 α ( g 1 ) g − 1 1 P 1 = g − 1 1 α ( P 1 ) = ς ( P 1 ) , 18 JORG E A.

The ass ertion for d l r s , with l ≥ 2, follows b y induction on l and r , using the re c ursive definition of d l r s . 4.2 A comparison ma p Let A = A/k . In this subsection we introduce a nd study a co mparison map from ( X ∗ , d ∗ ) to the canonica l norma lized Ho ch schild reso lution ( A ⊗ A ∗ ⊗ A, b ′ ∗ ). It is well known that there is an A -bimo dule ho motopy equiv alence θ ∗ : ( X ∗ , d ∗ ) → ( A ⊗ A ∗ ⊗ A, b ′ ∗ ) such that θ 0 = id A ⊗ A . It can b e re cursively defined by θ 0 := id A ⊗ A and θ ( x ) := ( − 1 ) r + s θ d ( x ) ⊗ 1 for x = 1 ⊗ g 1 s ⊗ v 1 r ⊗ 1 with r + s ≥ 1. Next we give a closed fo r m ula for θ ∗ . In o rder to es tablish this result we need to int ro duce a new notatio n.

Prop osition 4.5. We have: θ 1 ⊗ g 1 s ⊗ v 1 r ⊗ 1 = ( − 1) r X τ ∈ S r sg( τ ) ⊗ w g 1 ⊗ · · · ⊗ w g s ∗ v τ (1 r ) ⊗ 1 , wher e S r is the symmetric gr oup in r elements and v τ (1 r ) = v τ (1) ⊗ · · · ⊗ v τ ( r ) . Pr o of. W e pro ceed b y induction on n = r + s . The case n = 0 is obvious. Suppo se that r + s = n and the result is v alid for θ n − 1 . By the recur sive definition of θ and Theorem 4.3, θ (1 ⊗ g 1 s ⊗ v 1 r ⊗ 1 ) = ( − 1) n θ d (1 ⊗ g 1 s ⊗ v 1 r ⊗ 1 ) ⊗ 1 = ( − 1) n θ ( d 0 + d 1 )(1 ⊗ g 1 s ⊗ v 1 r ⊗ 1 ) ⊗ 1 = r X i =1 ( − 1) i + r θ ( g 1 ··· g s v i ⊗ g 1 s ⊗ v 1 ,i − 1 v i +1 ,r ⊗ 1 ) ⊗ 1 − r X i =1 ( − 1) i + r θ (1 ⊗ g 1 s ⊗ v 1 ,i − 1 v i +1 ,r ⊗ v i ) ⊗ 1 + ( − 1 ) n θ ( w g 1 ⊗ g 2 s ⊗ v 1 r ⊗ 1 ) ⊗ 1 + s − 1 X i =1 ( − 1) n + i θ (1 ⊗ g 1 ,i − 1 ⊗ g i g i +1 ⊗ g i +1 ,s ⊗ v 1 r ⊗ 1 ) ⊗ 1 + ( − 1 ) r θ (1 ⊗ g 1 ,s − 1 ⊗ g 1 ,s − 1 ⊗ g s v 1 · · · g s v r ⊗ w g s ) ⊗ 1 . The desired r esult follows now from the inductive hypothesis. 4.3 The Ho chs c hild cohomolog y Let M b e an A -bimo dule and A e the env eloping a lg ebra o f A . Applying the functor Hom A e ( − , M ) to ( X ∗∗ , d 0 ∗∗ , d 1 ∗∗ ) and using the identifications Hom A e ( X r s , M ) ≃ Hom k ( k [ G ] ⊗ s ⊗ Λ r V , M ) we obtain the double complex . . . . . . . . .

The comparis on map θ ∗ induces a quas i-isomorphism θ ∗ : Hom k ( A ∗ , M ) , b ∗ → X ∗ ( M ) . It is immediate that θ ( ϕ )( g 1 s ⊗ v 1 r ) = ( − 1 ) r X τ ∈ S r sg( τ ) ϕ ( w g 1 ⊗ · · · ⊗ w g s ) ∗ v τ (1 r ) . where S r is the sy mmetric g roup in r elements and v τ (1 r ) = v τ (1) ⊗ · · · ⊗ v τ ( r ) . F rom now on we ta k e M = A a nd we write HH ∗ ( A ) instead of H ∗ ( A, A ). 4.4 Pro of of the main result W e are ready to pr ov e that the co cycle Φ is non trivial.

A dir e c t computation, using the formulas for δ 1 and δ 2 obtained in the pro of of Pro p ositio n 3.23, shows that θ (Φ)( g ⊗ v ) = 0 and θ (Φ)( g ⊗ h ) = 0 . for g , h ∈ G and v ∈ V , a nd that θ (Φ)( x 1 x 2 ) = n 1 X j =1 n 2 X h =1 χ − 1 α ( g 1 j ) f ( g 1 j , g 2 h ) α − 1 ( P (1) g 1 j ) g 1 j P (2) g 2 h w g 1 j g 2 h and θ (Φ)( x i x j ) = 0 for 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n with ( i, j ) 6 = (1 , 2 ).
