Abstract

The non-commutative torus $A_{\omega}=C^*(\mathbb{Z}^n,{\omega})$ may be realized as the $C^*$-algebra of sections of a locally trivial $C^*$-algebra bundle over $\widehat{S_{\omega}}$ with fibres $C^*(\mathbb{Z}^n/S_{\omega},{\omega}_1)$ for some totally skew multiplier ${\omega}_1$ on $\mathbb{Z}^n/S_{\omega}$. It is shown that $A_{\omega}{\otimes}M_l(\mathbb{C})$ has the trivial bundle structure if and only if $\mathbb{Z}^n/S_{\omega}$ is torsion-free.
