A product on the square roots of unit matrix
There is a strange product that takes two square roots of unit matrix, say $A$ and $B$, $A^2=I$, $B^2=I$ to a square root again,
$$ A\star B=(A+B)^{-1}(A-B+2I), \qquad (A\star B)^2=I$$
Could anybody ...

Positive function with zero Haar integral
If $C$ is a compact (semi-)topological (semi-)group, are there nonzero positive functions having zero Haar integral? In other words: is the Hermitian product associated to the Haar integral degenerate?...
