An operator (AF-) algebra A_f is assigned to each Anosov diffeomorphism f of
a manifold M. The assignment is a functor on the category of (mapping tori of)
all such diffeomorphisms, which sends continuous maps between the manifolds to
the stable homomorphisms of the corresponding AF-algebras. We use the functor
to prove non-existence of continuous maps between the hyperbolic torus bundles,
an obstruction being the so-called Galois group of algebra A_f.
A reciprocity conjecture for the noncommutative tori is proved. The
conjecture says that an L-function of the noncommutative torus with real
multiplication coincides with the Hasse-Weil L-function of an elliptic curve
with the complex multiplication. Our proof is based on an explicit formula for
the Teichmueller functor between the elliptic curves and noncommutative tori.
It is shown how to extend the Selberg zeta function from the discontinuous
groups to the noncommutative tori. The extension gives a zeta function defined
on the noncommutative torus with real multiplication. An application of the
function to the period-rank conjecture is given.

The Teichmueller functor maps the category of elliptic curves over the field
of characteristic zero to a category of the Effros-Shen algebras. In the
present note, we extend the functor to include the elliptic curves over the
field of characteristic p. In particular, it is shown that the localization of
a commutative ring at the maximal ideal corresponds to a crossed product of the
Effros-Shen algebra by the p-th power of its shift automorphism. The
Cuntz-Krieger algebra is, therefore, an example of the noncommutative local
ring.
