Quasi-rotation Cāˆ—-algebras

H. Rouhani

Vol. 148 (1991), No. 1, 131ā€“151
Abstract

The main result in this paper is to classify the isomorphism classes of certain non-commutative 3-tori obtained by taking the crossed product C-algebra of continuous functions on the 2-torus T2 by the irrational affine quasi-rotations. Each such quasi-rotation is represented by a pair (a,A), where a T2 and A GL(2,Z), and its associated C-algebra is shown to be determined (up to isomorphism) by an analogue of the rotation angle, namely its primitive eigenvalue, by its orientation det(A) = ±1 and a certain positive integer m(A) which comes from the K1-group of the algebra and which determines the conjugacy class of A in GL(2,Z).
