Duality of Hopf algebras and duality of spectra

Let $S$ be the sphere spectrum, and for $X$ a topological space, let $S(X)$ be the mapping spectrum from the free loop spectrum on $X$ to the sphere spectrum. This is an $E_\infty$ ring spectrum (also ...

Bochner theorem for (non-abelian) discrete groups

I am interested in Pontryagin duality-like theories for discrete groups, more particularly, whether an analogue to Bochner's theorem for abelian groups exists in the discrete non-finite and non-...

Is Serre duality related to Pontryagin duality?

I am wondering if there is some relationship between Serre duality and Pontryagin duality for compact complex manifolds. In this case Serre duality reduces to the commutativity of Hodge-star operator ...

Morphism of discrete quantum groups

In the paper Kazhdan's Property T for Discrete Quantum Groups , we read the following fragment: First, note that I think there is a typo and that codomain and domain of the dual maps have to be ...

Conceptual explanation for Poisson summation formula

The Poisson summation formula says that for a Schwartz function $f : \mathbf R^d \to \mathbf R$ and its Fourier transform $\widehat f$, we have $$\sum_{n \in \mathbf Z^d} f(x) = \sum_{n \in \mathbf Z^...

When is A ⊗ ℚ self-Pontrjagin dual for a compact-Hausdorff topological ring A?

The topological ring of finite adeles $\mathbb A \cong \hat{\mathbb Z} \otimes \mathbb Q$ is self-Pontrjagin dual with self-dual Schwartz–Bruhat functional $\mathbb 1_{\hat{\mathbb Z}}$. This ...

Pontryagin's principle with Lebesgue-integrable control

Does there exist a (weak) version of Pontryagin's minimum principle in which the control is allowed to be just Lebesgue integrable? I am mostly familiar with the 1975 text of Fleming & Rishel, ...
