Abstract

We construct a two dimensional unoriented open/closed topological field theory from a finite graded group π:G^{1,1}\pi:\hat{G} \twoheadrightarrow \{1,-1\}, a π\pi-twisted 22-cocycle θ^\hat{\theta} on BG^B \hat{G} and a character λ:G^U(1)\lambda: \hat{G} \rightarrow U(1). The underlying oriented theory is a twisted Dijkgraaf-Witten theory. The construction is based in the (G^,θ^,λ)(\hat{G}, \hat{\theta},\lambda)-twisted Real representation theory of kerπ\ker \pi. In particular, twisted Real representations are boundary conditions and the generalized Frobenius-Schur element is its crosscap state.
