The universal covering group $G$ of $\mathrm{SL}_2({\mathbb R})$ has infinite center. Is there an irreducible unitary representation $\pi$ of $G$, whose central character is injective? Or does every $\...

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, $C_0(G)$ the $C^*$-algebra of continuous functions on $G$ that vanish at infinity, $C_b(G)$ the $C^*$-algebra of bounded continuous functions on $G$. We know that $...

Motivated by this question and its great answers, I become very curious to know what do we know about RFD (residually finite dimensional) groups and $C^*$-algebras, e.g. do we know how these ...

In Dixmier ($C^*$-algebras), the Plancherel theorem states (I will not mention the right regular representation even though the theorem does talk about it): Let $G$ be unimodular, $\lambda$ be the ...
