Abstract

We generalize the Frobenius-Schur theorem to CC^*-categories. From this category-theoretical point of view, we introduce the notions of real, complex and quaternionic representations of Hopf CC^*-algebras. Based on these definitions, we give another type of the Hopf-algebraic analogue of the Frobenius-Schur theorem, originally due to Linchenko and Montgomery. Also given are similar results for weak Hopf CC^*-algebras, table algebras and compact quantum groups.
