A Primer on Twists in the Noncommutative Realm Focusing on Algebra, Representation Theory, and Geometry
Preprint
Abstract
We review several techniques that twist an algebra's multiplicative structure. We first consider twists by an automorphism, also known as Zhang twists, and we relate them to 2-cocycle twists of certain bialgebras. We then outline the classification and properties of twisted tensor products, and we examine twisted Segre products. Our exposition emphasizes clarity over generality, providing a wealth of interconnecting examples.Keywords
