Abstract

Using the Weil–Brezin–Zak transform of solid state physics, we describe line bundles over elliptic curves in terms of Weyl operators. We then discuss the connection with finitely generated projective modules over the algebra A θ of the noncommutative torus. We show that such A θ -modules have a natural interpretation as Moyal deformations of vector bundles over an elliptic curve E τ , under the condition that the deformation parameter θ and the modular parameter τ satisfy a non-trivial relation.
