Related papers: An Explicit Duality for Finite Groups

In 2008, the author proposed a version of duality theory for (not necessarily, Abelian) complex Lie groups, based on the idea of using the Arens-Michael envelope of topological algebra and having an advantage over existing theories in that…

The choice of an isomorphism, a duality, between a finite abelian group $A$ and its character group allows one to define dual codes of additive codes over $A$. Properties of dualities and dual codes are studied, continuing work of Delsarte…

This is a survey of work in which the author was involved in recent years. We consider C*-algebras constructed from representations of one or several algebraic endomorphisms of a compact abelian group - or, dually, of a discrete abelian…

The multiplicative group of a number field acts by multiplication on the full adele ring of the field. Generalising a theorem of Laca and Raeburn, we explicitly describe the primitive ideal space of the crossed product C*-algebra associated…

We develop a duality theory for multiplier Banach-Hopf algebras over a non-Archimedean field K. As examples, we consider algebras corresponding to discrete groups and zero-dimensional locally compact groups with K-valued Haar measure, as…

The purpose of this note is to describe when a general complex algebraic $^*$-algebra is pre-$C^*$-normed, and to investigate their structure when the $^*$-algebras are Baer $^*$-rings in addition to algebraicity. As a main result we prove…

In this paper we prove, as conjectured by B.Banachewski and C.J.Mulvey, that the constructive Gelfand duality can be extended into a duality between compact regular locales and unital abelian localic C*-algebras. In order to do so we…

The pro-algebraic fundamental group can be understood as a completion with respect to finite-dimensional non-commutative algebras. We introduce finer invariants by looking at completions with respect to Banach and C*-algebras, from which we…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra, $H$ be a Hilbert $A$-module and $K(H)$ be the closure of the set of finite rank module maps. We show that the $W^*$-algebra of all bounded $A^{**}$-module maps on the smallest self-dual Hilbert $A^{**}$-module…

We compute the K-theory of ring C*-algebras for polynomial rings over finite fields. The key ingredient is a duality theorem which we had obtained in a previous paper. It allows us to show that the K-theory of these algebras has a ring…

Pontrjagin duality is implemented in the framework of fibre bundles. By means of Pontrjagin duality triples a Fourier transform is defined by a pull-push construction operating on sections of line bundles. This yields an isomorphism of…

If k is an arbitrary field, we construct a category of k-1-motives in which every commutative algebraic k-group G has a dual object $G^{\vee}$. When k is a local field of arbitrary characteristic, we establish Pontryagin duality theorems…

We study group algebras for compact groups in the category of real and complex weakly complete vector spaces. We also show that the group algebra is a quotient of the weakly complete universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of the…

We give new proofs for many injectivity results in analysis that make more careful use of the duality between unital abelian C*-algebras and compact Hausdorff spaces. We then extend many of these results to incorporate group actions. Our…

We prove a conjecture due to Baumgaertel and Lledo according to which for every compact group G one has Z(G)^ \cong C(G), where the `chain group' C(G) is the free abelian group (written multiplicatively) generated by the set G^ of…

This is the last part of a series of three papers on the subject. In the first part we have considered the duality of algebraic quantum groups. In that paper, we use the term algebraic quantum group for a regular multiplier Hopf algebra…

This paper introduces a generalization of Pontryagin duality for locally compact Hausdorff abelian groups to locally compact Hausdorff abelian group bundles.

Noncommutative duality for C*-dynamical systems is a vast generalization of Pontryagin duality for locally compact abelian groups. In this series of lectures, we give an introduction to the categorical aspects of this duality, focusing…

We compute the K-theory for C*-algebras naturally associated with rings of integers in number fields. The main ingredient is a duality theorem for arbitrary global fields. It allows us to identify the crossed product arising from affine…

We define and study a class of finite topological spaces, which model the cell structure of a space obtained by gluing finitely many Euclidean convex polyhedral cells along congruent faces. We call these finite topological spaces,…
