Abstract

We generalize the Serre-Swan theorem to non-commutative C^{*}-algebras. For a Hilbert C^{*}-module XX over a C^{*}-algebra A{\cal A}, we introduce a hermitian vector bundle \exx\exx associated to XX. We show that there is a linear subspace ΓX\Gamma_{X} of the space of all holomorphic sections of EX{\cal E}_{X} and a flat connection DD on EX{\cal E}_{X} with the following properties: (i) ΓX\Gamma_{X} is a Hilbert A{\cal A}-module with the action of A{\cal A} defined by DD, (ii) the C^{*}-inner product of ΓX\Gamma_{X} is induced by the hermitian metric of EX{\cal E}_{X}, (iii) EX{\cal E}_{X} is isomorphic to an associated bundle of an infinite dimensional Hopf bundle, (iv) ΓX\Gamma_{X} is isomorphic to XX.
