Abstract

Topological Hochschild homology (THH) is an invariant of ring spectra developed by B\"okstedt. In recent years many equivariant analogues to THH have emerged. One example is twisted THH which is an invariant of CnC_n-equivariant ring spectra developed by Angeltveit, Blumberg, Gerhardt, Hill, Lawson, and Mandell. In this paper, we study the algebraic structure of twisted THH, and perform some computations. Specifically, we compute C2C_2-twisted THH of the Real bordism spectrum and show that the CpC_p-twisted THH of geometric ring CpC_p-spectra reduces to a computation of classical THH. We extend the algebraic structure of twisted THH to the twisted B\"okstedt spectral sequence of Adamyk, Gerhardt, Hess, Klang, and Kong. We show that, under appropriate flatness conditions and for RR a commutative ring CpC_p-spectrum, the CpC_p-twisted B\"okstedt spectral sequence is a spectral sequence of commutative E(R)\underline{E}_\star(R)-algebras.
