Abstract
To any cleft Hopf Galois object, i.e., any algebra H obtained from a Hopf algebra H by twisting its
multiplication with a two-cocycle , we attach two "universal algebras" A
H and U
H . The algebra A
H is
obtained by twisting the multiplication of H with the most general two-cocycle formally cohomologous
to . The cocycle takes values in the field of rational functions on H. By construction, A
