Jul 19, 2011 at 7:38 | comment | added | Anatoly Kochubei | There are of course many different descriptions of dual objects to compact groups. Kac algebras were invented by G.I. Kac (under the name "ring groups") just to have duality for a class of objects including all locally compact groups. Later it became desirable to have wider classes, to include quantum groups, generalized shift operators etc. Several authors have been mentioned here; I would like to add L. I. Vainerman. | |
