Abstract

We define a Fr\'echet topology on the space C(X)[[]]C^\infty(X)[[\hbar]] of formal smooth functions on a symplectic manifold XX, by constructing a sequence of semi-norms on it. For any star product \star on C(X)[[]]C^\infty(X)[[\hbar]] making it a formal deformation quantization of XX, we will show that the quantum product \star is jointly continuous, and making it a Fr\'echet algebra. We will show a quantum Weierstrass theorem which says quantum polynomials are locally dense in all formal smooth functions. We will also show that the canonical trace of any formal deformation quantization is continuous under this Fr\'echet topology.
