Let A be an associative and unital algebra over a commutative ring K, such that A is K-projective. The Hochschild cohomology ring HH*(A) of A is, as a graded algebra, isomorphic to the Ext-algebra of A in the category of A-bimodules. In 1963, M. Gerstenhaber established a graded Lie bracket on HH*(A) of degree -1 which he described in terms of the so called bar resolution. While the multiplication admits an intrinsic description (Yoneda product), this Lie bracket has resisted such an…

By work of Farinati, Solotar, and Taillefer, it is known that the Hopf algebra cohomology of a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra, as a graded Lie algebra under the Gerstenhaber bracket, is abelian.

In 1945 Gerhard Hochschild published On the cohomology groups of an associative algebra in the Annals of Mathematics and thereby created what is now called Hochschild theory. In 1963, Murray
