On the BV structure of the Hochschild cohomology of finite group algebras

We give a simple algebraic recipe for calculating the components of the BV operator $\Delta$ on the Hochschild cohomology of a finite group algebra with respect to the centraliser decomposition. We use this to investigate the properties of $\Delta$ and to make some computations for some particular finite groups.
