Let $G$ be a group, $A$ a unital associative algebra over ${\mathbb C}$, and let us call a representation of $G$ in $A$ an arbitrary map $\pi:G\to A$ such that $$ \pi(1)=1,\qquad \pi(a\cdot b)=\pi(a)\...

There is a unique invariant mean $m$ on WAP functions on any discrete group (see definitions below, theorem of ?). However, the proofs I found are fairly non-explicit on how to obtain this invariant ...

What are the matrix coefficients associated with the irreducible representations of a compact real linear algebraic group $G$? Peter-Weyl tells us that $L^2(G)$ is the (closure of) $\bigoplus_\pi A_{\...
