We use these methods to find deformations of a ring associated to a particular orbifold with discrete torsion, and give a presentation of the center of the resulting deformed ring. This connects with earlier calculations by Vafa and Witten of chiral numbers and deformations of a similar orbifold.19 pages, LaTeX2e; final version to appear in JPAAK-Theory and HomologyHigh Energy Physics - TheoryRings and Algebras16E40 (primary) 16S40, 81T30, 81T75Algebraic deformations arising from orbifolds with discrete torsiontext
