Abstract

Using basic harmonic analysis on the n-torus, it is shown that the non-commutative n-tori are the only primitive C*-algebras (up to isomorphism) on which the n-torus [ ]n acts freely and ergodically. An explicit construction recovers the generating unitaries in a natural way from the action.
