Let k be a commutative algebra with the field of the rational numbers included in k and let (E,p,i) be a cleft extension of A. We obtain a new mixed complex, simpler than the canonical one, giving the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of E relative to ker(p). This complex resembles the canonical reduced mixed complex of an augmented algebra. We begin the study of our complex showing that it has a harmonic decomposition like to the one considered by Cuntz and Quillen for the normalized mixed complex of an algebra.
Relying of properties of the inductive tensor product, we construct cyclic type homology theories for certain nuclear algebras. In this context we establish continuity theorems. We compute the periodic cyclic homology of the Schwartz algebra of p-adic GL(n) in terms of compactly supported de Rham cohomology of the tempered dual of GL(n).
$HC_*(A rtimes G)$ is the cyclic homology of the crossed product algebra $A rtimes G.$ For any $g epsilon G$ we will define a homomorphism from $HC_*^g(A),$ the twisted cylic homology of $A$ with respect to $g,$ to $HC_*(A rtimes G).$ If $G$ is the finite cyclic group generated by $g$ and $|G|=r$ is invertible in $k,$ then $HC_*(A rtimes G)$ will be isomorphic to a direct sum of $r$ copies of $HC_*^g(A).$ For the case where $|G|$ is finite and $Q subset k$ we will generalize the Karoubi and Connes periodicity exact sequences for $HC_*^g(A)$ to Karoubi and Connes periodicity exact sequences for $HC_*(A rtimes G)$ .
We study the periodic cyclic homology groups of the cross-product of a finite type algebra $A$ by a discrete group $Gamma$. In case $A$ is commutative and $Gamma$ is finite, our results are complete and given in terms of the singular cohomology of the strata of fixed points. These groups identify our cyclic homology groups with the dlp orbifold cohomologydrp of the underlying (algebraic) orbifold. The proof is based on a careful study of localization at fixed points and of the resulting Koszul complexes. We provide examples of Azumaya algebras for which this identification is, however, no longer valid. As an example, we discuss some affine Weyl groups.
In this paper we study the theory of cleft extensions for a weak bialgebra H. Among other results, we determine when two unitary crossed products of an algebra A by H are equivalent and we prove that if H is a weak Hopf algebra, then the categories of H-cleft extensions of an algebra A, and of unitary crossed products of A by H, are equivalent.
Based on the ideas of Cuntz and Quillen, we give a simple construction of cyclic homology of unital algebras in terms of the noncommutative de Rham complex and a certain differential similar to the equivariant de Rham differential. We describe the Connes exact sequence in this setting. We define equivariant Deligne cohomology and construct, for each n > 0, a natural map from cyclic homology of an algebra to the GL_n-equivariant Deligne cohomology of the variety of n-dimensional representations of that algebra. The bridge between cyclic homology and equivariant Deligne cohomology is provided by extended cyclic homology, which we define and compute here, based on the extended noncommutative de Rham complex introduced previously by the authors.
