Idea

The genuinely 2\mathbb{Z}_2-equivariant cohomology version of ordinary cohomology, taking into account the 2\mathbb{Z}_2-action on the coefficients. A real-oriented cohomology theory. In degree 3 it serves as a twist for KR-theory.

Examples

The B-field over orientifold background of the bosonic string is a cocycle in (twisted) HZR-theory. More generally for the type II superstring it is a genuinely 2\mathbb{Z}_2-equivariant super line 2-bundle
