Abstract
We define a category \({\mathcal {QSI}}\) of quantum semigroups with involution and a duality map on it. For locally compact quantum groups, this establishes a duality between the universal algebras of Kustermans. Objects in \({\mathcal {QSI}}\) are von Neumann algebras with only comultiplication and coinvolution (antipode). Other examples are also given.
