Abstract
It was proved by I. Dolguntseva (St. Peterburg Math. J., 2010) that second Hochschild cohomology groups for the associative conformal algebra 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑘 with coefficients in an arbitrary conformal bimodule are trivial. In this work, we prove the same for all higher Hochschild cohomologies of 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑘 by means of algebraic discrete Morse theory applied to the bar complex of the 1st Weyl algebra.
