We report on recent results on the existence of Cubic and Hexic integral transforms on self-dual locally compact groups (orders 3 and 6 analogues of the classical Fourier transform) and their application in constructing a canonical continuous section of smooth projections \(\mathcal E(t)\) of the continuous field of rotation C*-algebras \(\{A_t\}_{0 \le t \le 1}\) that is invariant under the noncommutative Hexic transform automorphism. This leads to invariant matrix (point) projections of the irrational noncommutative tori \(A_\theta\). We also present a quick method for computing the (quantized) topological invariants of such projections using techniques from classical Theta function theory.

On décrit des résultats récents sur l’existence d’une transformation intégrale d’ordre trois (ou d’ordre six) sur un groupe localement compact abélien self-dual. On étudie l’application possible à la construction d’un champs continu de projecteurs invariants sous l’automorphisme associé du champs de C*-algèbres de rotation. On calcule certains invariants topologiques de ces projecteurs.

We demonstrate, in a rather quantitative manner, the existence of topological obstructions to approximating the irrational rotation C*-algebra \(A_\theta\) by Fourier invariant unital C*-subalgebras of either of the forms \[M \oplus B \oplus \sigma(B), \qquad M \oplus N \oplus D \oplus \sigma(D) \oplus \sigma^2(D) \oplus \sigma^3(D),\] where \(M, N\) are Fourier invariant matrix algebras (over \(\mathbb C\)), \(B\) is a C*-subalgebra whose unit projection is flip invariant and orthogonal to its Fourier transform, and \(D\) is a C*-subalgebra whose unit projection is orthogonal to its orbit under the Fourier transform. Here, \(\sigma\) is the noncommutative Fourier transform automorphism of \(A_\theta\) defined by \(\sigma(U) = V^{-1},\ \sigma(V)=U\) on the canonical unitary generators \(U,V\) obeying the unitary Heisenberg commutation relation \(VU = e^{2\pi i\theta}UV\).

On montre l’existence d’obstructions topologiques à l’approximation du tore non-commutatif par sous-algèbres de certains types qui sont invariantes sous l’automorphisme de Fourier.
