Kac Algebras and Duality of Locally Compact Groups (1st Edition) by Michel Enock, Jean-Marie Schwartz, and A. Ocneanu is a definitive and advanced resource for mathematicians and researchers interested in operator algebras, harmonic analysis, and quantum group theory. This eBook presents a thorough exploration of Kac algebras, their structure, and their role in the duality theory of locally compact groups.

Combining rigorous theoretical development with detailed proofs and examples, the authors provide a deep understanding of algebraic and analytic techniques essential for modern mathematical research. Topics include modular theory, co-algebras, duality constructions, and applications to representation theory and non-commutative geometry.

Highly recommended for graduate students, academics, and researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics, Kac Algebras and Duality of Locally Compact Groups is an essential reference for anyone studying the interplay between algebraic structures and harmonic analysis in both classical and quantum contexts.
