Abstract

In this paper we study CC^*-algebra version of Sarnak Conjecture for noncommutative toral automorphisms. Let AΘA_\Theta be a noncommutative torus and αΘ\alpha_\Theta be the noncommutative toral automorphism arising from a matrix SGL(d,Z)S\in GL(d,\mathbb{Z}). We show that if the Voiculescu-Brown entropy of αΘ\alpha_{\Theta} is zero, then the sequence {ρ(αΘnu)}nZ\{\rho(\alpha_{\Theta}^nu)\}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}} is a sum of a nilsequence and a zero-density-sequence, where uAΘu\in A_\Theta and ρ\rho is any state on AΘA_\Theta. Then by a result of Green and Tao, this sequence is linearly disjoint from the M\"obius function.
