Summary: A discrete model of the integer quantum Hall effect is analyzed via its associated \(C^*\)-algebra. The relationship with the usual continuous models is established by viewing the observable algebras of each as both twisted group \(C^*\)-algebras and twisted cross products. A Fredholm module for the discrete model is presented, and its Chern character is calculated.
