Gromov-Hausdorff Convergence of Spectral Truncations for Noncommutative Tori

We prove the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of the state spaces, equipped with Connes’ distance function, of the operator systems associated with spectral truncations for noncommutative $n$-tori, $n\ge 2$. The action of the $n$-torus on the noncommutative $n$-torus, together with an appropriate use of Bochner integrals, enables us to construct an $C^1$-approximate order isomorphism that establishes the convergence. The earlier convergence result for the classical case of tori [20] follows as a special case of our result. We conclude by studying the $C^{\ast }$-envelopes and propagation numbers of the truncated operator systems and show that the structural properties of the truncated operator systems for tori persist under deformation.
