Semi-bounded unitary representations of infinite-dimensional Lie groups

摘要

In this note we introduce the concept of a semi-bounded unitary representations of an infinite-dimensional Lie group G. Semi-boundedness is defined in terms of the corresponding momentum set in the dual g' of the Lie algebra g of G. After dealing with some functional analytic issues concerning certain weak-*-locally compact subsets of dual spaces, called semi-equicontinuous, we characterize unitary representations which are bounded in the sense that their momentum set is equicontinuous, we characterize semi-bounded representations of locally convex spaces in terms of spectral measures, and we also describe a method to compute momentum sets of unitary representations of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions.
