Definition 32.2.1 (Representation of $L^{1}(G; \complex)$).label Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $(H, \pi_{0})$ be a unitary representation of $G$, then
- (1)
The mapping
\[\pi: L^{1}(G; \complex) \to B(H) \quad \dpn{\pi(f)\xi, \eta}{H}= \int_{G} f(x)\dpn{\pi_0(x)\xi, \eta}{H}dx\]defines a non-degenerate *-representation of $L^{1}(G; \complex)$.
- (2)
For any $x \in G$ and $f \in L^{1}(G; \complex)$,
\[\pi_{0}(x)\pi(f) = \pi(L_{x}f) \quad \pi(f)\pi_{0}(x) = \Delta_{G}(x^{-1})\pi(R_{x^{-1}}f)\]
Conversely, if $\pi: L^{1}(G; \complex) \to B(H)$ is a non-degenerate *-representation of $L^{1}(G; \complex)$, then:
- (3)
There exists a unique unitary representation $\pi_{0}: G \to B(H)$ such that
\[\dpn{\pi(f)\xi, \eta}{H}= \int_{G} f(x)\dpn{\pi_0(x)\xi, \eta}{H}dx\]for all $f \in L^{1}(G; \complex)$ and $\xi, \eta \in H$. Moreover, for any approximate identity $\angles{\phi_\alpha}_{\alpha \in A}\subset L^{1}(G; \complex)$ and $x \in G$, $\pi_{0}(x) = \sotlim_{\alpha \in A}\pi(L_{x}\phi_{\alpha})$.
The mapping $\pi: L^{1}(G; \complex) \to B(H)$ is the representation of $L^{1}(G; \complex)$ determined by $\pi_{0}$.
Proof, [Theorem 3.9, Theorem 3.11, Fol16]. (1, Well-Defined): For each $x \in G$, $\pi_{0}(x)$ is unitary, so for any $f \in L^{1}(G; \complex)$ and $\xi, \eta \in H$,
and the representation is well-defined.
(1, Homomorphism): For any $f, g \in L^{1}(G; \complex)$ and $\xi, \eta \in H$, since $\pi_{0}$ is a unitary representation,
(1, *-Homomorphism): For any $f \in L^{1}(G; \complex)$ and $\xi, \eta \in H$, since $\pi_{0}$ is unitary,
(1, Non-Degenerate): For any $\xi \in H \setminus \bracsn{0}$, since $\pi_{0}$ is strong-operator continuous, there exists $V \in \cn_{G}(1)$ such that $\norm{\pi_0(x)\xi - \xi}_{H} < \norm{\xi}_{H}$ for all $x \in V$. In which case, if $f = |V|^{-1}\one_{V}$[1], then for any $\eta \in H$,
so $\norm{\pi(f)\xi - \xi}_{H} < \norm{\xi}_{H}$, and $\pi(f)\xi \ne 0$.
(3): Using Proposition 31.4.10, let $\angles{\phi_\alpha}_{\alpha \in A}$ be an approximate identity in $L^{1}(G; \complex)$. For each $x \in G$ and $f \in L^{1}(G; \complex)$, $L_{x}\phi_{\alpha} * f \to L_{x} f$ in $L^{1}(G; \complex)$ implies that $\angles{\pi(L_x\phi_\alpha)}_{\alpha \in A}$ converges pointwise on
Given that $\pi$ is non-degenerate, $K$ is dense in $H$. As $\bracsn{\pi(L_x\phi_\alpha)|\alpha \in A}$ is equicontinuous and $H$ is complete, the Arzelà-Ascoli Theorem implies that there exists $\pi_{0}(x) \in \ol{B_{B(H)}(0, 1)}$ such that $\pi(L_{x}\phi_{\alpha}) \to \pi_{0}(x)$ in the strong operator topology. In particular, $\pi_{0}(1) = \text{Id}$.
For each $f \in L^{1}(G; \complex)$, $\xi \in H$, and $x, y \in G$,
By density of $K$ in $H$, $\pi_{0}(xy) = \pi_{0}(x)\pi_{0}(y)$, so $\pi_{0}$ is a homomorphism. For any $x \in G$, $\text{Id}= \pi_{0}(1) = \pi_{0}(x)\pi_{0}(x^{-1})$, so $\pi_{0}(x)$ is isometric and invertible, and hence unitary.
Finally, for any $f \in L^{1}(G; \complex)$ and $\xi, \eta \in H$, by the Dominated Convergence Theorem,
$\square$
- $|V|$ is the value of the Haar measure at $V$.keyboard_return
