Star products and central extensions
Abstract
The purpose of the present note is two-fold. First, to show that deformations of algebras of smooth functions can be used to construct topologically nontrivial standard central extensions of loop groups. Second, to use noncommutative geometry as a regularization of current algebras in higher dimensions with the aim of constructing representations of current algebras.
