On a question of R. Godement about the spectrum of positive, positive definite functions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
Let G be a locally compact group, and let P(G) be the convex set of all continuous, positive definite functions ø on G normalized by ø(e) = 1, where e denotes the group unit of G. For ø∈P(G) the spectrum spø of ø is defined as the set of all indecomposable ψ∈P(G) which are limits, for the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets of G, of functions of the form
(see [5], p. 43). Denoting by πø the cyclic unitary representation of G associated with ø, it is clear that sp ø consists of all ψ∈P(G) for which πψ is irreducible and weakly contained in πø (see [3], chapter 18).
