unitary representation


Let G be a topological groupMathworldPlanetmath. A unitary representationMathworldPlanetmath of G is a pair (π,H) where H is a Hilbert spaceMathworldPlanetmath and π:GU(H) is a homomorphismPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath such that the mapping of G×HH that sends (g,v) to π(g)v is continuous. Here U(H) denotes the set of unitary operators of H. The group G is said to act unitarily on H or sometimes, G is said to act by unitary representation on H.
