Abstract

The C*-algebra generated by the left-regular representation of Nn\mathbb{N}^n twisted by a 22-cocycle is a Toeplitz extension of an nn-dimensional noncommutative torus, on which each vector r[0,)nr \in [0,\infty)^n determines a one-parameter subgroup of the gauge action. We show that the equilibrium states of the resulting C*-dynamical system are parametrised by tracial states of the noncommutative torus corresponding to the restriction of the cocycle to the vanishing coordinates of rr. These in turn correspond to probability measures on a classical torus whose dimension depends on a certain degeneracy index of the restricted cocycle. Our results generalise the phase transition on the Toeplitz noncommutative tori used as building blocks in recent work of Brownlowe, Hawkins and Sims, and of Afsar, an Huef, Raeburn and Sims.
