For a unital associative algebra A and prescribed A-bimodule M, an extension is 0→M→E→A→0 where E is unital, E→A is unital, M is a square-zero ideal, and the induced actions are the prescribed ones. Equivalences induce the identity on A and M. A unital linear section produces a normalized Hochschild cocycle μ(a,b)=s(a)s(b)−s(ab). Conversely, (a,m)(b,n)=(ab,an+mb+μ(a,b)) on A⊕M defines the extension. Changing section changes μ by a coboundary, giving classification by HH2(A,M).
