Abstract: In this paper, a decomposition theorem for (covariant) unitary group representations on Kaplansky-Hilbert modules over Stone algebras is established, which generalizes the well-known Hilbert space case (where it coincides with the decomposition of Jacobs, de Leeuw and Glicksberg). The proof rests heavily on the operator theory on Kaplansky-Hilbert modules, in particular the spectral theorem for Hilbert-Schmidt homomorphisms on such modules. As an application, a generalization of the celebrated Furstenberg-Zimmer structure theorem to the case of measure-preserving actions of arbitrary groups on arbitrary probability spaces is established.
