Let $\pi$ be the [[wp>Gelfand–Naimark–Segal_construction|GNS representation]] of $C(G)$ corresponding to the Haar state $h$. We denote by $L^2(G)$ the corresponding Hilbert space. It holds that the Haar state $h$ is //faithful// on $\Pol(G)$ (i.e. $h(aa^*)=0\Leftrightarrow a=0$). Hence, $\pi$ provides a faithful representation of $\Pol(G)$ on $L^2(G)$. | Let $\pi$ be the [[wp>Gelfand–Naimark–Segal_construction|GNS representation]] of $C(G)$ corresponding to the Haar state $h$.

- | Conversely, for any Hopf $*$-algebra with a positive integral $A_0$, we can consider its universal C*-completion (see bellow) $A:=C^*(A_0)$, which defines a compact quantum group. This provides an alternative //algebraic// definition of compact quantum groups. | + | Conversely, for any Hopf $*$-algebra with a positive integral $A_0$, we can consider its universal C*-completion (see below) $A:=C^*(A_0)$, which defines a compact quantum group.
