Abstract: Hochschild cohomology is a fascinating invariant of an associative algebra which possesses a rich structure. In particular, the first Hochschild cohomology group HH^1(A) of an algebra A is a Lie algebra, which is a derived invariant. In the half part of talk, I will explain how maximal tori in HH^1(A) together with fundamental groups associated to presentations of A, can be used to deduce information about the shape of the Gabriel quiver of A. In particular, I will show that every maximal torus in HH^1(A) arises as the dual of some fundamental group of A. By combining this, with known invariance results for Hochschild cohomology, I will deduce that the largest rank of a fundamental group of A is a derived invariant. In the second half, I will assume that A is a monomial algebra. For some families of subalgebras of A, I will introduce the notion of relative fundamental group and I will show how these relative fundamental groups are related with the relative Hochschild cohomology of A. This talk is based on joint works with Benjamin Briggs and Jonathan Lindell.
