In this paper,we study the*-structure on the twisted quantum double algebra D~?(G).Let G be a finite group,?be a normalized 3-cocycle,D~?(G)=(CG)~*?CG,F be the twist element of D~?(G),if D~?(G)admits a*-operation and a element?=(FF~*)~-1,we prove that the new quasi Hopf algebra D_F?(G)introduced by F is a quasi-Hopf*-algebra when the*-operation and?satisfies certain conditions.Besides,the universal R-matrix of D~?(G)can induce D~?(G)to be a quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf*-algebra. |
