Obstructions to Quantization 2

Let (L,) be a prequantum line bundle over a symplectic manifold X, and S its symplectization. Kostant showed that the classical Poisson bracket on S is simply prequantization on X. C. Duval and I have taken this a step farther to obtain a quantization of X using a generalized star-product on S.
