Abstract
We study discrete torsion for the --torus with finite symmetry group from the Dijkgraaf--Witten viewpoint. A class in assigns a phase to each flat --bundle, equivalently to each commuting --tuple in up to conjugation. We introduce the subgroup of \emph{untwisted} classes, those whose Dijkgraaf--Witten phases are trivial on all commuting tuples, and derive a universal coefficient exact sequence involving this invariant. In degree this recovers the Bogomolov multiplier / unramified Brauer group. We implement algorithms for computing and corresponding torus partition functions, and report on computations for families of finite subgroups of .
