Derivations and Hochschild cohomology of quantum nilpotent algebras

Abstract: We compute the derivations of Quantum Nilpotent Algebras under a technical (but necessary) assumption on the center. As a consequence, we give an explicit description of the first Hochschild cohomology group of $U_q^+(\mathfrak{g})$, the positive part of the quantized enveloping algebra of a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Our results are obtained leveraging an initial cluster constructed by Goodearl and Yakimov.
