Modular functors, ie consistent systems of projective representations of mapping
class groups of surfaces, were constructed for nonsemisimple modular
categories decades ago. Concepts from homological algebra have not been
used in this construction although it is an obvious question how they should
enter in the nonsemisimple case. We elucidate the interplay between the
structures from topological field theory and from homological algebra by
constructing a
homotopy coherent projective action of the mapping class group
of the
torus on the Hochschild complex of a modular category. This is a further step
towards understanding the Hochschild complex of a modular category as a
differential graded conformal block for the torus. Moreover, we describe a differential
graded version of the Verlinde algebra.
