Building on the recent determination of the simplicial cohomology groups of the convolution algebra

1(
), Studia Math. 166 (2005), 29–54], we investigate what can be said for the cohomology of this algebra with more general symmetric coefficients. Our approach leads us to a discussion of the Harrison homology and cohomology in the context of Banach algebras and a development of some of its basic features. As an application of our techniques, we reprove some known results on second-degree cohomology.
