AbstractIf one of the locally compact groups H and K is of type I, the reduced dual of their product is shown to be homeomorphic to the product of the reduced duals.

Freudenthal [5, 7] defined a compactification of a rim-compact space, that is, a space having a base of open sets with compact boundary. The additional points are called ends and Freudenthal showed that a connected locally compact non-compact group having a countable base has one or two ends. Later, Freudenthal [8], Zippin [16], and Iwasawa [11] showed that a connected locally compact group has two ends if and only if it is the direct product of a compact group and the reals.

In this paper, we will define the reduced cross-sectional C*-algebras of C*-algebraic bundles over locally compact groups and show that if a C*-algebraic bundle has the approximation property (defined similarly as in the discrete case), then the full cross-sectional C*-algebra and the reduced one coincide. Moreover, if a semi-direct product bundle has the approximation property and the underlying C*-algebra is nuclear, then the cross-sectional C*-algebra is also nuclear. We will also compare the approximation property with the amenability of Anantharaman-Delaroche in the case of discrete groups.

AbstractLet A and G be locally compact groups and α a continuous action of G on A, and let denote the semi-direct product of A and G. Then we prove that the left Hilbert algebra of continuous functions with compact support, has the same achieved left Hilbert algebra, as the crossed product of K(A)" by the associated action α̃ of G on . As a consequence we obtain that the canonical weight on is the dual weight of the canonical weight on K(A)".
