Summary:
The non-commutative torus $C^*(\mathbb{Z}^n,\omega )$ is realized as the $C^*$-algebra of sections of a locally trivial $C^*$-algebra bundle over $\widehat{S_{\omega }}$ with fibres isomorphic to $C^*(\mathbb{Z}^n/S_{\omega }, \omega _1)$ for a totally skew multiplier $\omega _1$ on $\mathbb{Z}^n/S_{\omega }$. D. Poguntke [9] proved that $A_{\omega }$ is stably isomorphic to $C(\widehat{S_{\omega }}) \otimes C^*(\mathbb{Z}^n/S_{\omega }, \omega _1) \cong C(\widehat{S_{\omega }}) \otimes A_{\varphi } \otimes M_{kl}(\mathbb{C})$ for a simple non-commutative torus $A_{\varphi }$ and an integer $kl$. It is well-known that a stable isomorphism of two separable $C^*$-algebras is equivalent to the existence of equivalence bimodule between them. We construct an $A_{\omega }$-$C(\widehat{S_{\omega }}) \otimes A_{\varphi }$-equivalence bimodule.
