Abstract: For any topological group $G$ the dual object $hatG$ is defined as the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ equipped with the Fell topology. If $G$ is compact, $hatG$ is discrete. In an earlier paper we proved that $hatG$ is discrete for every metrizable precompact group, i.e. a dense subgroup of a compact metrizable group. We generalize this result to the case when $G$ is an almost metrizable precompact group.

Review text

The main result: Let \(G\) be a precompact group (i.e., a subgroup of a compact group) which is almost metrizable (i.e., there is a compact subgroup \(K\subset G\) such that the quotient space \(G/K\) is metrizable). Let \(\hat {G}\) be the dual object of \(G\) (i.e., the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of \(G\)) equipped with the Fell topology. Then \(\hat {G}\) is a discrete space.
