Abstract: In this short note we briefly review some recent developments in understanding discrete torsion. Specifically, we give a short overview of the highlights of a group of recent papers which give the basic understanding of discrete torsion. Briefly, those papers observe that discrete torsion can be completely understood simply as the choice of action of the orbifold group on the B field. We summarize the main points of that work.
