Review text

The paper is devoted to an elementary proof of Pontryagin's duality theorem for compact and discrete abelian groups. The authors' approach is based on an elementary proof of the Peter-Weyl theorem due to Prodanov that makes no recourse to Haar integral. As applications of this approach the authors obtain proofs of the Bohr-von Neumann theorem on almost periodic functions, the Comfort-Ross theorem on the description of the precompact topologies on abelian groups, and the existence of Haar integral on locally compact abelian groups.
