We show that the normal version (R, R.) of the Banach simplicial cohomology of operator algebras can be expressed in terms of the functor Ext on the category of Banach R-bimodules. As an application, we prove that
(R, R*) = Hn(R, R*) and thus the latter space vanishes for some von Heumann algebras for positive τ.
