Let A be a \C-algebra with an action of a finite group G, let ♮ be a
2-cocycle on G and consider the twisted crossed product $A \rtimes \C
[G,\natural].WedeterminetheHochschildhomologyofA \rtimes \C
[G,\natural]$ for two classes of algebras A:
- rings of regular functions on nonsingular affine varieties,
- graded Hecke algebras.
The results are achieved via algebraic families of (virtual) representations
and include a description of the Hochschild homology as module over the centre
of A⋊\C[G,♮]. This paper prepares for a computation of the
Hochschild homology of the Hecke algebra of a reductive p-adic group.
