Twist, in general

[edit]

There is a notion of twist, in general, in mathematics; it would be nice if this article defined it. The general definition is, roughly, if you have two of something, you can join them with a ribbon, using for example, the fully antisymmetric tensor to do it, where . The classic example is a torus with a twist which gives you the Klein bottle. Could someone please write this up, properly? There's lots of "twisted" things in higher mathematics... 67.198.37.16 (talk) 20:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Twist (mathematics)Twist (differential geometry) – There is also a twist operation on graded modules, described in Graded ring#Graded module, and Twists of elliptic curves, and it's unclear that this is the primary topic. 1234qwer1234qwer4 14:57, 17 August 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Frost 07:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
