Smooth Maps of Star Products

John Rawnsley (Warwick University)

A star product on a manifold is a non-commutative formal deformation with one parameter of the algebra of functions on a smooth manifold. We try to determine the analogue of smooth maps. I include a very elementary proof that maps of smooth manifolds are the same as homomorphisms of the algebra of functions.
