Motives of Noncommutative Tori
  In this article, we propose a way of seeing the noncommutative tori in the category of noncommutative motives. As an algebra, the noncommutative torus is lack the smoothness property required to define a noncomutative motive. Thus, instead of working with the algebra, we work with the category of holomorphic bundles. It is known that these are related to the coherent sheaves of an elliptic curve. We describe the cyclic homology of the category of holomorphic bundle on a noncommutative torus. We then introduce a notion of (weak) t-structure in dg categories. By applying the t-structure to a noncommutative torus, we show that it induces a decomposition of the motivic Galois group of the Tannakian subcategory generated by the auxiliary elliptic curve.
