Roughly speaking, two algebras are Morita equivalent if they have equivalent
"representation theories". This notion of equivalence plays
a major role in noncommutative geometry, and also in applications of
noncommutative geometry to physics.
In this talk, I will describe how to classify "quantum" algebras
obtained by (formal) deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds up
to Morita equivalence. This description involves, among other things,
the study of projective modules over deformed algebras and deformation
quantization of vector bundles.
If time permits, I will discuss strong Morita equivalence in the formal
category, which is an algebraic generalization of Rieffel's
strong Morita equivalence of C*-algebras.
