Unitary representation, Free topological group, Positive-definite function, Michael selection theoremAbstract
For every Tikhonov space X the free abelian topological group A(X) and the free locally convex vector space L(X) admit a topologically faithful unitary representation. For compact spaces X this is due to Jorge Galindo.Downloads
