Remark on Serre C^*-algebras

Abstract: We study non-commutative algebraic geometry of Artin, Serre and Tate in terms of the operator algebras. Namely, we define the Serre

C^{*}

-algebra

m a t h c a l A_{X}

of a projective variety

X

as the norm-closure of a representation of the twisted homogeneous coordinate ring of

X

by the linear operators on a Hilbert space

m a t h c a l H

. It is proved that

X

is homeomorphic to the space of all irreducible representations of the crossed product of

m a t h c a l A_{X}

by an automorphism of

m a t h c a l A_{X}

. The case of rational elliptic curves

X

is considered in detail.
