On the BV structure of the Hochschild cohomology of finite group algebras

Dave Benson, Radha Kessar and Markus Linckelmann

Vol. 313 (2021), No. 1, 1–44
DOI: 10.2140/pjm.2021.313.1
Abstract

We give a simple algebraic recipe for calculating the components of the BV operator Δ on the Hochschild cohomology of a finite group algebra with respect to the centraliser decomposition. We use this to investigate properties of Δ and to make some computations for some particular finite groups.
