Abstract: We introduce twisted Steinberg algebras over a commutative unital ring R. These generalise Steinberg algebras and are a purely algebraic analogue of Renault's twisted groupoid C*-algebras. In particular, for each ample Hausdorff groupoid G and each locally constant 2-cocycle sigma on G taking values in the units Rimes, we study the algebra AR(G,sigma) consisting of locally constant compactly supported R-valued functions on G, with convolution and involution "twisted" by sigma. We also introduce a "discretised" analogue of a twist Sigma over a Hausdorff 'etale groupoid G, and we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between locally constant 2-cocycles on G and discrete twists over G admitting a continuous global section. Given a discrete twist Sigma arising from a locally constant 2-cocycle sigma on an ample Hausdorff groupoid G, we construct an associated twisted Steinberg algebra AR(G;Sigma), and we show that it coincides with AR(G,sigmaโˆ’1). Given any discrete field mathbbFd, we prove a graded uniqueness theorem for AmathbbFd(G,sigma), and under the additional hypothesis that G is effective, we prove a Cuntz--Krieger uniqueness theorem and show that simplicity of AmathbbFd(G,sigma) is equivalent to minimality of G.
