Abstract
We prove, under some mild conditions, that the equivariant twisted K-theory group of a crossed module admits a ring structure if the twisting 2-cocycle is 2-multiplicative. We also give an explicit construction of the transgression map for any crossed module and prove that any element in the image is -multiplicative. As a consequence, we prove that, under some mild conditions, for a crossed module and any , that the equivariant twisted K-theory group admits a ring structure. As an application, we prove that for a compact, connected and simply connected Lie group G, the equivariant twisted K-theory group is endowed with a canonical ring structure , where and .
