Group algebra of a locally compact group
ID: group-algebra-of-a-locally-compact-group
The group algebra of a locally compact group is a mathematical construction that combines the structure of the group with the properties of a vector space over a field, typically the field of complex numbers, \(\mathbb{C}\). ### Definition Let \( G \) be a locally compact group and let \( k \) be a field (commonly taken to be \(\mathbb{C}\)).
