Differential and holomorphic differential operators on noncommutative algebras

This paper deals with sheaves of differential operators on noncommutative algebras. The sheaves are defined by quotienting a the tensor algebra of vector fields (suitably deformed by a covariant derivative) to ensure zero curvature. As an example we can obtain enveloping algebra like relations for Hopf algebras with differential structures which are not bicovariant. Symbols of differential operators are defined, but not studied. These sheaves are shown to be in the center of as category of bimodules with flat bimodule covariant derivatives. Also holomorphic differential operators are considered, though without the quotient to ensure zero curvature.
