Summary: We construct nonequivalent star products on \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n\) by phase space reduction. It turns out that the nonequivalent star products occur very natural in the context of phase space reduction by deforming the momentum map of the U(1)-action on \(\mathbb{C}^{n-1}\setminus\{0\}\) into a quantum momentum map and the corresponding momentum value into a quantum momentum value such that the level set, i.e., the ‘constraint surface’, of the quantum momentum map coincides with the classical one. All equivalence classes of star products on \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n\) are obtained by this construction.
