| May 20, 2011 at 18:39 | comment | added | Fedor Petrov | Thanks, this is nice argument, the onliest problem why it is not appropriate for my students is that they do not know the proof of Peter-Weyl theorem, which requires some functional analysis (or it actually does not? the proof which I know requires some properties of compact operators.) | |
