In this paper, we consider algebras with involution over a ring C which is given by the quadratic extension by i of an ordered ring R . We discuss the∗-representation theory of such∗-algebras on pre-Hilbert spaces over C and develop the notions of Rieffel induction and formal Morita equivalence for this category analogously to the situation for C∗-algebras. Throughout this paper, the notion of positive functionals and positive algebra elements will be crucial for all constructions. As in the case of C∗-algebras, we show that the GNS construction of∗-representations can be understood as Rieffel induction and, moreover, that formal Morita equivalence of two∗-algebras, which is defined by the existence of a bimodule with certain additional structures, implies the equivalence of the categories of strongly non-degenerate∗-representations of the two∗-algebras. We discuss various examples like finite rank operators on pre-Hilbert spaces and matrix algebras over∗-algebras. Formal Morita equivalence is shown to imply Morita equivalence in the ring-theoretic framework. Finally, we apply our considerations to deformation theory and in particular to deformation quantization and discuss the classical limit and the deformation of equivalence bimodules.
