Abstract

We define twisted Frobenius extensions of graded superrings. We develop equivalent definitions in terms of bimodule isomorphisms, trace maps, bilinear forms, and dual sets of generators. The motivation for our study comes from categorification, where one is often interested in the adjointness properties of induction and restriction functors. We show that AA is a twisted Frobenius extension of BB if and only if induction of BB-modules to AA-modules is twisted shifted right adjoint to restriction of AA-modules to BB-modules. A large (non-exhaustive) class of examples is given by the fact that any time AA is a Frobenius graded superalgebra, BB is a graded subalgebra that is also a Frobenius graded superalgebra, and AA is projective as a left BB-module, then AA is a twisted Frobenius extension of BB.
