Abstract

We defined a notion of quantum 2-torus TθT_\theta in "Masanori Itai and Boris Zilber, Notes on a model theory of quantum 2-torus Tq2T_q^2 for generic qq, arXiv:1503.06045v1 [mathLO]" and studied its model theoretic property. In this note we associate quantum 2-tori TθT_\theta with the structure over Cθ=(C,+,,y=xθ),{\mathbb C}_\theta = ({\mathbb C}, +, \cdot, y = x^\theta), where θRQ\theta \in {\mathbb R} \setminus {\mathbb Q}, and introduce the notion of geometric isomorphisms between such quantum 2-tori. We show that this notion is closely connected with the fundamental notion of Morita equivalence of non-commutative geometry. Namely, we prove that the quantum 2-tori Tθ1T_{\theta_1} and Tθ2T_{\theta_2} are Morita equivalent if and only if θ2=aθ1+bcθ1+d\theta_2 = {\displaystyle \frac{a \theta_1 + b}{c \theta_1 + d}} for some (abcd)GL2(Z) \left( \begin{array}{cc} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} \right) \in {\rm GL}_2({\mathbb Z}) with adbc=1|ad - bc| = 1. This is our version of Rieffel's Theorem in "M. A. Rieffel and A. Schwarz, Morita equivalence of multidimensional noncummutative tori, Internat. J. Math. 10, 2 (1999) 289-299" which characterises Morita equivalence of quantum tori in the same terms. The result in essence confirms that the representation TθT_\theta in terms of model-theoretic geometry \cite{IZ} is adequate to its original definition in terms of non-commutative geometry.
