Stroppel's intrinsic formality conjecture for extended Khovanov arc algebras

Let Kmn{\mathrm{K}}_m^n be the extended Khovanov arc algebra indexed by mm and nn, and let HHi22(Kmn,\operatorname{HH}^2_{i-2}({\mathrm{K}}_m^n,{\mathrm{K}}_m^n)denoteitsHochschildcohomologyinHochschilddegreedenote its Hochschild cohomology in Hochschild degree2andinternaldegreeand internal degreei-2$. Stroppel's conjecture.

\operatorname{HH}^2_{i-2}({\mathrm{K}}_m^n,${\mathrm{K}}_m^n)=0 \quad\text{if } i\neq 0.

This vanishing would imply that the algebras Kmn{\mathrm{K}}_m^n admit no nontrivial AA_\infty deformations and are intrinsically formal. The conjecture is attributed to Stroppel's ICM 2010 address; its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
