5 1 Unitary Dual Problem Definition. A representation (π, V ) of a group G is a homomorphism ρ from G to GL(V ), the set of invertible linear operators of a space V. Irreducible : V and 0 are the only closed linear subspaces of V invariant under π. Unitary : Each π(g) is a unitary operator. Main Problem: Describe the set of all irreducible unitary representations of G, which we denote by Ĝunitary.
