The cohomology theory of an associative algebra has been shown to be valuable in the study of the structure of algebras of finite cohomological dimension, especially those of dimension less than or equal to one over a field. M. Harada [9] has shown that every semi-primary hereditary algebra A (for example, A is finitely generated over a field R and has dimension < 1) is isomorphic to a generalized triangular matrix algebra. The concept of a central separable algebra over a commutative ring has been shown to be a useful generalization of the concept of a central simple algebra over a field, where a separable algebra is defined to be an algebra having cohomological dimension zero.
