Schur-Weyl theory for \(C^*\)-algebras (Q2905237)

Let \(\mathcal H\) be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, \({\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) the \(C^*\)-algebra of bounded operators on \(\mathcal H\), \(K({\mathcal H})\) the ideal of compact operators, \(U({\mathcal H})\) the group of unitary operators on \(\mathcal H\). Let \(\mathcal A\) be a \(C^*\)-algebra and \(U({\mathcal A})\) its unitary group. To each irreducible infinite dimensional representation \((\pi, {\mathcal H})\) of a \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal A\) the authors associate a collection of irreducible norm-continuous unitary representations \(\pi_\lambda^{\mathcal A}\) of the group \(U({\mathcal A})\), whose equivalence classes are parametrized by highest weights in the same way as the irreducible bounded unitary representations of the group \(U_\infty({\mathcal H})= U({\mathcal H}) \cap (1+K({\mathcal H}))\) are. These are precisely the representations arising in the decomposition of the tensor products \({\mathcal H}^{\otimes n}\otimes ({\mathcal H}^*)^{\otimes m}\) under \(U({\mathcal A})\). The authors show that these representations can be realized by sections of holomorphic line bundles over homogeneous Kähler manifolds on which \(U({\mathcal A})\) acts transitively and that the corresponding norm-closed momentum sets \(I^{\mathbf n}_{\pi_\lambda^{\mathcal A}}\) distinguish inequivalent representations of this type.
