Summary:
For any topological group $G$ the dual object $\widehat G$ is defined as the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ equipped with the Fell topology. If $G$ is compact, $\widehat G$ is discrete. In an earlier paper we proved that $\widehat G$ is discrete for every metrizable precompact group, i.e. a dense subgroup of a compact metrizable group. We generalize this result to the case when $G$ is an almost metrizable precompact group.
