Hochschild-Mitchell cohomology and Galois extensions

Abstract

We define H-Galois extensions for k-linear categories and prove the existence of a Grothendieck spectral sequence for Hochschild-Mitchell cohomology related to this situation. This spectral sequence is multiplicative and for a group algebra decomposes as a direct sum indexed by conjugacy classes of the group. We also compute some Hochschild-Mitchell cohomology groups of categories with infinite associated quivers.
