Abstract:
Let A be either a simplicial complex K or a small category C with V(A) as its set of vertices or objects. We define a twisted structure on A with coefficients in a simplicial group G as a function δ from vertices to endomorphisms of G with certain commutativity condition.
We give a canonical construction of twisted simplicial group as well as twisted homology for A with a given twisted structure. Also we determine the homotopy type of of this simplicial group as the loop space over certain twisted smash product.
