Popis: Let □ = l 1 (ℬ) be the semigroup algebra of ℬ, the bicyclic semigroup. We give a resolution of l ∞ (ℬ) which simplifies the computation of the cohomology of l 1 (ℬ) dual bimodules. We apply this to the dual module l ∞ (ℬ) and show that the simplicial cohomology groups ℋ n (□, □′) vanish for n ≥ 2. Using the Connes–Tzygan exact sequence, these results are used to show that the cyclic cohomology groups ℋ□ n (□, □′) vanish when n is odd and are one-dimensional when n is even (n ≥ 2).
