Twisting
The property of being a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra is preserved by twisting via an invertible element such that and satisfying the cocycle condition
Furthermore, is invertible and the twisted antipode is given by, with the twisted comultiplication, R-matrix and co-unit change according to those defined for the quasi-triangular Quasi-Hopf algebra. Such a twist is known as an admissible (or Drinfel'd) twist.

Is saltatory.
Yet he grips his right of twisting free.”

Your twisted loaves and twisting vines,
Your table d’hôte, your à la carte,

Your dream of independent power,
And dear old Konrad Adenauer,
And stick them up your Eiffel Tower.”
