“…Although these groups are not easy to compute in general, some approaches have been successful when the algebra Λ is given by a quiver with relations. For instance, explicit formulae for the dimensions of HH i (Λ) in terms of those combinatorial data have been found in [5,6,8,11,12]. The first Hochschild cohomology group plays an important role in the representation theory of algebras since it is related to the separation properties of the vertices of the quiver of Λ, and to the notion of (strong) simple connectedness (see [2,3,13,17,20]).…”
