We also have twisted versions of generalized
cohomology theories other than
K
-theory
. The cohomology with
local coefficients
can be also regarded as a kind of twisted cohomology
theory.
Atiyah and Segal briefly describe an idea of
twisting
generalized cohomology theories
in
[
AS04
]
. And they discuss twistings of de Rham cohomology in
§
6 of
[
AS06
]
.
There is an attempt of axiomatization of twisted
generalized cohomology by Bunke and Schick
[
BSa
]
. They also discuss axioms of twisted cohomology
theory for
orbispaces
in
[
BSb
]
.
Although there is a description of how to construct a
twisted version of a generalized cohomology theory in
the above mentioned paper by Atiyah and Segal, we
should probably use parametrized spectra as is done by
Waldmüller in
[
Wal
]
. He constructs spectra representing
twisted
K
-theory
and twisted
Spin
c
-cobordism. See Part V of the book
[
MS06
]
by May and Sigurdsson, for more details. There is
also a description of equivariant versions.
Ando, Blumberg, and Gepner

consider twistings as Thom spectra (in a general
sense).
