Description

A strong motivation for the study of C*-algebras is the theory of unitary represen-
tations of locally compact groups. In the seventies, M. Rieffel and P. Green deve-
loped respectively the theory of induced representations and Mackey normal sub-
group analysis in a C*-algebraic framework. We discuss how Mackey's virtual
groups program also fits into this framework and illustrate it by the example of
projective representations of locally compact abelian groups.
