ON THE VANISHING OF THE SECOND COHOMOLOGY GROUP OF A COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRA Michel Andrr!*

In another paper I have defined and studied cohomology groups for commutative topological algebras.

Derivations

appear in dimension 0 and extensions in dimension 1. paper I want to prove a result in dimension 2.

In this

It implies

known results on formally smooth algebras in dimension 1, on regular rings in dimension 2 and on complete intersections in dimension 3:

see [Gr]19.5.4. and [An]27.1./27.2./28.3.

All

rings of this paper are commutative with 1. We consider a commutative ring A and an ideal I.

Then the

following three properties are equivalent: i) the A/I-module 1/1 2 is projective and the A/I-algebra A/I 1/1 2 e 1 2/1 3 @ .... is symmetric. ii)

the cohomology groups

H2(A/ln, A/I, W) are zero

for all A/I-modules W. iii)

the cohomology groups

for all A/I-modules W and all

Hk(A/ln, A/I, W) are zero 2.

Discrete cohomology.

Here is a brief review of cohomology

theory for discrete algebras.

First of all for any A-algebra

B and B-module W there are cohomology groups Hk (A, B, W), contravariant in A and in B, covariant in W.

Their basic

properties are the following. Proposition 1.1.

Let B be an A-algebra and W' -..

be a short exact sequence of B-modules.

Then there is an

exact sequence:

Then there is an exact sequence: Hk

If the natural homomorphism of A into B is an epi-

morphism with kernel I, then there is a natural isomorphism:
