Abstract
We prove two versions of Bochner's theorem for locally compact quantum groups. First, every completely positive definite "function" on a locally compact quantum group arises as a transform of a positive functional on the universal C*-algebra of the dual quantum group. Second, when is coamenable, complete positive definiteness may be replaced with the weaker notion of positive definiteness, which models the classical notion. A counterexample is given to show that the latter result is not true in general. To prove these results, we show two auxiliary results of independent interest: products are linearly dense in , and when is coamenable, the Banach *-algebra has a contractive bounded approximate identity.
