There is no associative product on

for which coefficientwise restriction is a unital homomorphism from the inherited -algebra.

More generally, a unital -algebra homomorphism which kills every while preserving the inherited brackets must satisfy in its target. It cannot have a nonzero unit with faithful formal scalar inclusion, or be a nonzero torsion-free formal quantum algebra.

Proof. The kernel of a homomorphism is a two-sided ideal, contradicting Theorem thm:nonideal. Alternatively, apply a proposed homomorphism to (eq:commutator). Its left side is zero because the image of is zero. Since is a nonzero scalar, the result forces . In the coefficientwise restriction module the class of is nonzero, and multiplication by merely shifts coefficients, so this relation is impossible.
