Yetter-Drinfeld modules under cocycle twists

We give an explicit formula for the correspondence between simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules for certain finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras $H$ and those for cocycle twists $H^{\sigma }$ of $H$. This implies an equivalence between modules for their Drinfeld doubles. To illustrate our results, we consider the restricted two-parameter quantum groups ${\mathfrak{u}}_{r,s}({\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_n)$ under conditions on the parameters guaranteeing that ${\mathfrak{u}}_{r,s}({\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_n)$ is a Drinfeld double of its Borel subalgebra. We determine explicit correspondences between ${\mathfrak{u}}_{r,s}({\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_n)$-modules for different values of $r$ and $s$ and provide examples where no such correspondence can exist. Our examples were obtained via the computer algebra system {\sc Singular::Plural}.
