Locally noncommutative spacetimes provide a refined notion of noncommutative spacetimes where the noncommutativity is present only for small distances. Here we discuss a non-perturbative approach based on Rieffel’s strict deformation quantization. To this end, we extend the usual C *-algebraic results to a pro- C *-algebraic framework.
