For real quadratic fields, a similar description is not known. However, the relevant (still unproved) case of Stark conjectures ([St1]) strongly suggests that such a description must exist. In this paper we propose to use two--dimensional quantum tori corresponding to real quadratic irrationalities as a replacement of elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We discuss some basic constructions of the theory of quantum tori from the perspective of this Real Multiplication (RM) research project.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-02-12T14:46:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "real multiplication", "noncommutative geometry", "complex multiplication", "elliptic curves", "real quadratic irrationalities" ], "note": { "typesetting": "AMS-TeX", "pages": 46, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math......2109M" } } }
