Abstract

Given a locally compact quantum group G\mathbb{G} and a (generalized) dual unitary 22-cocycle Ω^\hat{\Omega}, any W^*-algebra AA with a G\mathbb{G}-action can be twisted into a new W^*-algebra AΩ^A_{\hat{\Omega}} with an action by the cocycle twist GΩ^\mathbb{G}_{\hat{\Omega}} of G\mathbb{G}. We show how, in general, the standard space L2(AΩ^)L^2(A_{\hat{\Omega}}), with its standard GΩ^\mathbb{G}_{\hat{\Omega}}-representation, can be seen as a twist of L2(A)L^2(A) with its standard G\mathbb{G}-representation. We then apply this general result in the special case of (generalized) Drinfeld doubles.
