Secondary Hochschild cohomology and derivations

In this paper, we introduce a generalization of derivations. Using these so-called secondary derivations, along with an analogue of Connes’ Long Exact Sequence, we are able to provide computations in low dimension for the secondary Hochschild and cyclic cohomologies associated to a commutative triple. We then establish a universal property, which paves the way to relating secondary Kähler differentials with the aforementioned secondary derivations.
