Abstract

In this paper we will consider the crossed product C(T ) ×α Z, where T is the unit circle, α(n) = αn is a rotation through the angle −2πnθ for n ∈ Z, and θ is a fixed irrational number. We will apply some results about patial actions to repre- sent this crossed product as a C∗-subalgebra of B(L2(T)). Also, by a different method form the proof of Davidson, we show that this crossed product is isomorphic to the irrational rotation algebra.
