Abstract

For a completely Hausdorff quasi-topological group GG, we construct a universal pro-CC^*-algebra C(E+G)C(E^+G) as the non-commutative geometer's analogue of the total space EGEG of the classifying principal GG-bundle EGBGEG\to BG. The pro-CC^*-algebra C(EG)C(EG) of (possibly unbounded) continuous functions on EGEG is then recoverable as the abelianization of C(E+G)C(E^+G). Along the way, we develop various aspects of the theory of quasi-topological GG-spaces and GG-pro-CC^*-algebras.
