Kac Algebras and Duality of Locally Compact Groups

This book deals with the theory of Kac algebras and their dual­ ity, elaborated independently by M. Enock and J . -M. Schwartz, and by G. !. Kac and L. !. Vajnermann in the seventies. The sub­ ject has now reached a state of maturity which fully justifies the publication of this book. Also, in recen...
