A dynamical system is a triple (A, G, α) consisting of a unital locally convex algebra A, a topological group G, and a group homomorphism α: G → Aut(A) that induces a continuous action of G on A. Furthermore, a unital locally convex algebra A is called a continuous inverse algebra, or CIA for short, if its group of units A× is open in A and the inversion map i: A× → A×, a → a-1 is continuous at 1A. Given a dynamical system (A, G, α) with a complete commutative CIA A and a compact group G, we show that each character of the corresponding fixed point algebra can be extended to a character of A. © 2018 by the authors.
