Why is the dual of a torus the same as its fundamental group?
The set of continuous homomorphisms from a torus ${\mathbb T}^n = ({\mathbb R}/{\mathbb Z})^n \to {\mathbb R}/{\mathbb Z}$ can be identified with ${\mathbb Z}^n$ if we assign to each $k = (k_1, \ldots ...

Existence of a strongly continuous topologically irreducible representation of a compact group on an infinite dimensional Banach space?
Does there exists a triple $(G, X, \pi)$, where $G$ is a compact group, $X$ an infinite dimensional Banach space over $\mathbf{C}$, and $\pi : G \to B(X)$ a strongly continuous representation of $G$, ...

Is norm-continuous representation factored through a Lie quotient group?
I asked this 11 days ago at MSE, but there was no answer, I hope people here could help.
Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and $X$ a Hilbert space. A unitary representation $\varphi:G\to B(X)$ is ...

Tensoring with an induced representation: proof question
Let $G$ be a locally compact Hausdorff group and $H$ a closed subgroup of $G$. If $\sigma: H \to B(\mathcal{K}_\sigma)$ is a unitary representation of $G$, we can associate an "induced ...

Failure of Schur's lemma for topological group representations
Is there an example of $G$, $\rho$ as below?
$G$ is a locally compact group.
$\rho$ is an irreducible continuous representation of $G$ on a complex Hilbert space $V$. This means that we have a ...

Primitive ideal space and unitary dual of a [SIN] group - when are they Hausdorff?
Recall that a locally compact group $G$ is said to be
an $[FC]^-$ group, if each conjugacy class in $G$ has a compact closure;
an $[SIN]$ group, if each neighborhood of the identity includes a ...

Irreducible unitary representations of discrete abelian groups
It seems to me that the statement below should be true but I would like to double-check.
Statement: Let $H$ be a (separable) complex Hilbert space and consider its associated unitary group $U(H)$ ...
