Abstract
The topology of the Moyal $*$-algebra may be defined in three ways: the algebra may be regarded as an operator algebra over the space of smooth declining functions either on the configuration space or on the phase space itself; or one may construct the $*$-algebra via a filtration of Hilbert spaces (or other Banach spaces) of distributions. We prove the equivalence of the three topologies thereby obtained. As a consequence, by filtrating the space of tempered distributions by Banach subspaces, we give new sufficient conditions for a phase-space function to correspond to a trace-class operator via the Weyl correspondence rule.
