Abstract: Abstract Hochschild homology (along with cyclic and periodic cyclic homologies) plays in the non-commutative geometry the role which de Rham cohomology plays in the classical geometry. It is defined for any associative algebra. The Hochschild chains over the algebra A $$\mathcal {A}$$ are not localised and the operations with the chains over the algebra A $$\mathcal {A}$$ are not commutative. If the algebra were the algebra of differentiable functions over a topological manifold M, the corresponding Hochschild chains would be differentiable functions over M N. Cyclic/periodic cyclic homology of the A $$\mathcal {A}$$ were introduced to extend the Chern–Weil characteristic classes to idempotents over A $$\mathcal {A}$$ . Cyclic/periodic cyclic homology represents the minimal algebraic structure for which the Chern–Weil construction works. The cyclic/periodic cyclic homology of the algebra of differentiable functions constitutes the link between the classical differential geometry and non-commutative geometry.
