Abstract: In a previous paper we define a Curtis-Tits group as a certain generalization of a Kac-Moody group. We distinguish between orientable and non-orientable Curtis-Tits groups and identify all orientable Curtis-Tits groups as Kac-Moody groups associated to twin-buildings. In the present paper we construct all orientable and non-orientable Curtis-Tits groups with diagram $widetilde{A}_n$ over a field $mathbbF$. The resulting groups are quite interesting in their own right. The orientable ones are related to Drinfel'd' s construction of vector bundles over a non-commutative projective line and to the classical groups over cyclic algebras. The non-orientable ones are related to q-CCR algebras in physics and have symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups as quotients.
