There is a standard additive decomposition of the Hochschild cohomology ring of the group algebra of a finite group G as the direct sum of the cohomology rings of the centralizers of representatives of the conjugacy classes of G . A special case of our main result describes the cup product in terms of this decomposition. As applications, we determine presentations for the Hochschild cohomology rings of [(1)] the mod‐3 group algebra of the symmetric group S 3 , [(2)] the mod‐2 group algebra of the alternating group A 4 , and [(3)] the mod‐2 group algebras of the dihedral 2‐groups. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification : 16E40, 20J06.
