Abstract

Let 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)".
