In [this paper][1] (1998) by M. Izumi, R. Longo, S. Popa, there is the following result (page 49) on compact groups: ![enter image description here][2] By applying this result to finite groups, we get a Galois correspondence between subgroups and subsystems (of unitary representations). Such a result seems "fundamental" in the finite group theory but I don't know an "old" reference for it. *Question*: What's the first reference for this result in finite group theory?
