On the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the cohomology of fusion systems and of the Hochschild cohomology of block algebras

Symonds' proof of Benson's regularity conjecture implies that the regularity of the cohomology of a fusion system and that of the Hochschild cohomology of a p-block of a finite group is at most zero. Using results of Benson, Greenlees, and Symonds, we show that in both cases the regularity is equal to zero.
