Summary: Let G be a separable, metrizable locally compact abelian group and let

$\sigma$ be a vector measure on G taking values in the centre of a von Neumann algebra

$\mathcal A$ . Given an

$\mathcal A$ -valued measure

$\mu$ on G, we define the convolution

$\mu * \sigma$ and study the equation

$\mu = \mu * \sigma$ , using Choquetâ€™s integral representation theory as in [7] where the same equation for scalar measures was studied.
