Definition
A theorem identifying the Hochschild homology HH_*(A) of a smooth commutative algebra A (or smooth algebraic variety) with the algebra of differential forms Ω^*_A, via the Hochschild–Kostant–Rosenberg (HKR) map, thereby linking homological algebra to differential geometry in the smooth commutative setting.
