Abstract
This paper deals mainly with the Chu duality of discrete groups Among other results we give sufficient conditions for an FC group to satisfy Chu duality and characterize when the Chu quasidual and the Takahashi quasidual of a group G coincide As a consequence it follows that when G is a weak sum of a family of finite simple groups if the exponent of the groups in the family is bounded then G satisfies Chu duality on the other hand if the exponent of the group goes to infinity then the Chu quasidual of G coincides with its Takahashi quasidual We also present examples of discrete groups whose Chu quasiduals are not locally compact and examples of discrete Chu reflexive groups which contain nontrivial sequences converging in the Bohr topology of the groups Our results systematize some previous work and answer some open questions on the subject 2 16 3
