Let
be a finite quiver, that is, a finite directed graph, k be a commutative ring, and k
be the semigroup ring of paths in
. In this paper we compute the Hochschild homology of the following classes of algebras:
(1) k
/mn, where m is the arrow ideal;
(2) k
/I where I is an ideal generated by quadratic monomials.
In Section 2 we establish the notation, and recall a projective resolution of k
0, the degree 0 part in k
, over a monomial algebra which is due to Anick and Green. This resolution is then used in Section 3 as the building block in the construction of a resolution of a truncated or quadratic monomial algebra A, over its enveloping algebra (in the Hochschild sense), Ae. The fact that a monomial algebra possesses a fine grading then enables us to compute the homology.
The results obtained extend results by Liu and Zhang [3] and Geller, Reid and Weibel [2].
