Linear representations of topological groups

4 Topological Equivalence of Linear Representations for Cyclic Groups : I

In the two parts of this paper we prove that the Reidemeister torsion invariants determine topological equivalence of G–representations, for G a finite cyclic group.

Unitary representations of topological groups

One purpose is to isolate techniques and results in representation theory which do not depend upon additional structure of the groups. Much can be done in the representation theory of compact groups without anything more than the compactness. Similarly, the discrete decomposition of L(Γ\G) for compact quotients Γ\G depends upon nothing more than compactness. Schur orthogonality and inner produc...

Linear Representations of Finite Groups

Abelian topological groups without irreducible Banach representations

We exhibit abelian topological groups admitting no nontrivial strongly continuous irreducible representations in Banach spaces. Among them are some abelian Banach–Lie groups and some monothetic subgroups of the unitary group of a separable Hilbert space.

QUASI-PERMUTATION REPRESENTATIONS OF METACYCLIC 2-GROUPS

By a quasi-permutation matrix we mean a square matrix over the complex field C with non-negative integral trace. Thus, every permutation matrix over C is a quasipermutation matrix. For a given finite group G, let p(G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of G (or of a faithful representation of G by permutation matrices), let q(G) denote the minimal degree of a fa...
