Abstract

We classify spin structures on the noncommutative torus and find that the noncommutative nn-torus has 2n2^n spin structures corresponding to isospectral deformations of spin structures on the commutative nn-torus. For n4n\geq 4 the classification depends on Connes’ spin manifold theorem. In addition, we study unitary equivalences of these spin structures.
