Abstract: We introduce and study a generalization of the notion of the Furstenberg boundary of a discrete group $Gamma$ to the setting of a general unitary representation $pi:GammaoB(mathcal{H}_{p}i)$. This space, which we call the "Furstenberg-Hamana boundary" of the pair $(Gamma,pi)$, is a $Gamma$-invariant subspace of $B(mathcal{H}_{p}i)$ that carries a canonical $C^{\ast }$-algebra structure. In many natural cases, including when $pi$ is a quasi-regular representation, the Furstenberg-Hamana boundary of $pi$ is commutative, but can be non-commutative in general. We study various properties of this boundary, and give some applications.
