The algebra of noncommutative differential forms has been defined by A. Connes in [4]. Using this algebra, M. Karoubi has defined cyclic homology and Hochschild homology groups (see [13]). These groups are related to the algebraic K-theory. The purpose of this paper is to provide the noncommutative differential forms algebra with the structure of Gerstenhaber--Voronov algebras.

Abstract: In this paper we define the notion of “graded algebra with symmetries”. This notion is a generalization of the extended differential forms. We prove that for a graded algebra with symmetries T, we associate a subalgebra which generalizes the noncommutative differential forms. Using this algebra , we can define the Hochschild and cyclic homologies, cup i-products and the Steenrod squares. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
