Then the crossed product of A_θ by F, and the fixed point algebra for the action of F on A_θ, are AF algebras. The same is true for the crossed product and fixed point algebra of the flip action of Z/2Z on any simple d-dimensional noncommutative torus A_Θ. Along the way, we prove a number of general results which should have useful applications in other situations.AMSLaTeX; 43 pages. This paper is a greatly improved version of Sections 8 through 10 of the unpublished long preprint arXiv:math.OA/0306410. In particular, the conclusion that the crossed products and fixed point algebras for the actions of Z/3Z, Z/4Z, and Z/6Z on A_θ are AH algebras has been improved to state that they are AF algebras, and the ordered K-theory has been completely determinedOperator Algebras19K14, 46L35, 46L55, 46L80 (Primary); 18F25, 19K99, 46L40 (Secondary)The structure of crossed products of irrational rotation algebras by finite subgroups of SL_2 (Z)text
