Abstract
We investigate the "theta-deformed spheres" C(S^{3}_{theta}) and C(S^{4}_{theta}), where theta is any real number. We show that all finitely-generated projective modules over C(S^{3}_{theta}) are free, and that C(S^{4}_{theta}) has the cancellation property. We classify and construct all finitely-generated projective modules over C(S^{4}_θ) up to isomorphism. An interesting feature is that if theta is irrational then there are nontrivial "rank-1" modules over C(S^{4}_θ). In that case, every finitely-generated projective module over C(S^{4}_θ) is a sum of a rank-1 module and a free module. If theta is rational, the situation mirrors that for the commutative case theta=0.
