The proof of the theorem relies on a smooth irreducible absorbing action $\alpha$ of $K$ on a locally compact space $X$ and on an imprimitivity condition for the triplet $(K, C_0(X), \alpha)$. Keywords: Induced representation, imprimitivity theorem, hypergroup. MSC: 22D30, 22F50, 20N20, 43A62 [ Fulltext-pdf  (328  KB)] for subscribers only.
