Introduction To Volume 2
(Chapters Eight to Twelve)
The main purpose of the present Volume 2 is to give a detailed presentation
of the Mackey “normal subgroup analysis” for classifying the unitary
representations of groups-and this not merely in the customary context of
locally compact groups, but in the larger context of Banach *-algebraic
bundles.
Before proceeding to sketch the background of the Mackey normal
subgroup analysis, we should make special mention of Chapters IX and X,
which are somewhat disjoint from the rest of the volume. They consist largely
of the now classical general results on the representation theory of compact
and abelian groups respectively. As regards compact groups, all the principal
general results (centering around the Peter-Weyl Theorem) on their repre-
sentation theory can be obtained in the context of locally convex representa-
tions rather than merely unitary ones; and this is the context in which they
are presented in Chapter IX. Combining these classical results with the
“Mackey analysis” of Chapter XII, we shall be able (gX11.7) to generalize
much of the representation theory of compact groups (including the Froben-
ius Reciprocity Theorem) to a substantial class of Banach *-algebraic bundles
over compact groups. As for Chapter X, the first part presents the main
