Overview:
This project will explore one of several possible new directions in homological algebra, depending upon the interests of the students. The starting point is the study of cohomology of groups (going back to the 1930s). What if the word "group" is replaced by other algebraic structures (such as ring, or commutative algebra, or monoid). What is the analogous theory, and how do we compute it? There are actually two competing definitions of cohomology in these cases, and in this project we will compare them and try to find out when they agree.

This project led on to three separate research projects over the spring of 2022:
Quillen homology of Lie algebras
Hochschild systems and alternative algebras
Harrison homology and the Quillen homology of commutative monoids
