Recently I. Gelfand and M. Neumark [2] have determined the types of irreducible unitary representations of the group G1 of linear transformations of the straight line. The analogous result is obtained for the group G2 of transformations zaz + b in the complex-number plane , where a and b run over all complex numbers with the exception of a = 0, which may be considered as the group of all sense-preserving similar transformations in the two-dimensional euclidean space E2.
