Herz-Schur multipliers and non-uniformly bounded representations of locally compact groups (Q2874341)

From the author's abstract: Let \(G\) be a second countable, locally compact group and let \(\varphi\) be a continuous Herz-Schur multiplier on \(G\). The main result of the paper gives the existence of a (not necessarily uniformly bounded) strongly continuous representation \(\pi\) of \(G\) on a Hilbert space \(\mathcal{H}\), together with vectors \(\xi, \eta \in \mathcal{H}\), such that \(\varphi(y^{-1}x)=\langle \pi(x)\xi, \pi(y^{-1})^*\eta\rangle\) for \(x, y \in G\) and \(\sup_{x\in G} \|\varphi\|_{M_0A(G)}\). Moreover, the author obtains control over the growth of the representation in the sense that \(\|\pi(g)\|\leq \exp\Big(\frac{c}{2}d(g, e)\Big)\) for \(g\in G\), where \(e\in G\) is the identity element, \(c\) is a constant, and \(d\) is a metric on \(G\).
