A new triviality theorem for group pseudorepresentations (Q829061)

A version of the triviality theorem was given for the case of Hilbert space. This note presents a new triviality theorem for the case of general Banach space. It is proved that if \(G\) is a group and \(\pi\) is a pseudorepresentation of \(G\) in a Banach space \(E\) with a sufficiently small defect and if \(\pi\) is a sufficiently small perturbation of the identity representation of \(G\) in \(E\), then \(\pi(g)=1_E\) for all \(g\in G\).
