Abstract

It was shown by A. Connes, M. Douglas and A. Schwarz that noncommutative tori arise naturally in consideration of toroidal compactifications of M(atrix) theory. A similar analysis of toroidal Z2 orbifolds leads to the algebra Bθ that can be defined as a crossed product of noncommutative torus and the group Z2. Our paper is devoted to the study of projective modules over Bθ (Z2-equivariant projective modules over a noncommutative torus). We analyze the Morita equivalence (duality) for Bθ algebras working out the two-dimensional case in detail.
