Abstract
We revisit the old result that biflat Banach algebras have the same cyclic cohomology as ${\bf C}$, and obtain a quantitative variant (which is needed in separate, joint work of the author on the simplicial and cyclic cohomology of band semigroup algebras). Our approach does not rely on the Connes–Tsygan exact sequence, but is motivated strongly by its construction as found in [2] and [5].
