Duals of orbit spaces in groups with relatively compact inner automorphism groups are hypergroups

For a locally compact groupG and a groupB of topological automorphisms containing the inner automorphisms ofG and being relatively compact with respect to Birkhoff topology (that isGFIA] _B,B I(G)) the spaceG _B of -orbits is a commutative hypergroup (=commutative convo inJewett's terminology) in a natural way asJewett has shown. Identifying the space of hypergroup characters ofG _B withE(G, B) (the extreme points ofB-invariant positive definite continuous functionsp withp (e)=1, endowed with the topology of compact convergence) we prove thatE(G, B) is a hypergroup, the hypergroup dual ofG _B.
