A dynamical system is a triple ( A , G , α ) consisting of a unital locally convex algebra A, a topological group G, and a group homomorphism α : G → Aut ( A ) that induces a continuous action of G on A. Furthermore, a unital locally convex algebra A is called a continuous inverse algebra, or CIA for short, if its group of units A × is open in A and the inversion map ι : A × → A × , a ↦ a − 1 is continuous at 1 A . Given a dynamical system ( A , G , α ) with a complete commutative CIA A and a compact group G, we show that each character of the corresponding fixed point algebra can be extended to a character of A.
