Hochschild cohomology of a smash product in the nonsemisimple case

Abstract: In this paper we explore the relations between the Hochschild cohomology of an algebra over some field and the Hochschild cohomology of its smash product with a finite group. Basically we are concentrated on the case where the group under consideration is an extension of a cyclic $p$-group by some $p'$-group, where $p$ is the characteristic of the ground field.
