Moyal product

In mathematics, the Moyal product (after José Enrique Moyal; also called the star product or Weyl–Groenewold product, after Hermann Weyl and Hilbrand J. Groenewold) is an example of a phase-space star product. It is an associative, non-commutative product, , on the functions on , equipped with its Poisson bracket (with a generalization to symplectic manifolds, described below). It is a special case of the -product of the "algebra of symbols" of a universal enveloping algebra.
