Abstract

Let X be a separated finite type scheme over a noetherian base ring double-struck K sign. There is a complex ê.(X) of topological script O signX-modules, called the complete Hochschild chain complex of X. To any script O signX-module script M sign - not necessarily quasi-coherent - we assign the complex ℋomscript O sign Xcont.(X), script M sign) of continuous Hochschild cochains with values in script M sign. Our first main result is that when X is smooth over double-struck K sign there is a functorial isomorphism ℋomscript O sign Xcont.(X), script M sign) ≅ R ℋomscript O sign X2 (script O signX, script M sign) in the derived category D(Mod script O signX2), where X2: = X ×double-struck K sign X. The second main result is that if X is smooth of relative dimension n and n! is invertible in double-struk K sign, then the standard maps π: ê-q(X) → ΩX/double-struck K signq induce a quasi-isomorphism ℋomscript O sign X (⊕q ΩX/double-struck K signq[q], script M sign) → ℋomscript O sign Xcont.(X), M). When M = script O signX this is the quasi-isomorphism underlying the Kontsevich Formality Theorem. Combining the two results above we deduce a decomposition of the global Hochschild cohomology Extscript O sign X2i(script O signX, script M sign) ≅ ⊕ Hi-q (X· (∧ script T signX/double-struck K sign) ⊗script O sign X script M sign). where script T signX/double-struck K sign is the relative tangent sheaf.
