Polynomial growth of discrete quantum groups, topological dimension of   the dual and *-regularity of the Fourier algebra
  Banica and Vergnioux have shown that the dual discrete quantum group of a compact simply connected Lie group has polynomial growth of order the real manifold dimension. We extend this result to a general compact group and its topological dimension, by connecting it with the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of an algebra. Furthermore, we show that polynomial growth for a compact quantum group G of Kac type implies *-regularity of the Fourier algebra A(G), that is every closed ideal of C(G) has a dense intersection with A(G). In particular, A(G) has a unique C*-norm.
