“…The literature on RFD C * -algebras is rather substantial, as is that on RF groups; so much so, in fact, that it would be impossible to do it justice. For samplings (the best a short note such as this one can do) we direct the reader to, say, [14,2,10,3,17,19,20,13,24] (for RFD C * -algebras) and [5,4,6] or [21, Ā§6.5], [23,Chapters 6,14,15], [12,Chapter 2] (for RF groups), and references therein.…”
