Résumé
Abstract

Soit $τ$ une représentation unitaire continue d’un groupe $G$ localement compact sur l’espace de Hilbert $H_{τ}$ . Soit $C_{τ}^{*} [V N_{τ}]$ la $C^{*} [W^{*}]$ algèbre engendrée par

(L^{1} (G)) et M_{τ} (C_{τ}^{*}) = \{ϕ \in V N_{τ}; ϕ C_{τ}^{*} + C_{τ}^{*} ϕ \subset C_{τ}^{*}\} .

On obtient le théorème 1 :

Si $G$ est $σ$ -compact et $M_{τ} (C_{τ}^{*}) = V N_{τ}$ , alors le support de $τ$ est discret et chaque $π$ dans sup $τ$ est CCR.

Nous utilisons ce résultat dans le cas de la représentation quasi-régulière $τ = π_{H}$ . Cela nous permet d’obtenir, entre autres résultats, que $M_{π_{H}} (C_{π_{H}}^{*}) = V N_{π_{H}}$ impliquerait dans plusieurs cas que $G / H$ est compact.

Let $τ$ be a continuous unitary representation of the locally compact group $G$ on the Hilbert space $H_{τ}$ . Let $C_{τ}^{*} [V N_{τ}]$ be the $C^{*} [W^{*}]$ algebra generated by

(L^{1} (G)) and M_{τ} (C_{τ}^{*}) = \{ϕ \in V N_{τ}; ϕ C_{τ}^{*} + C_{τ}^{*} ϕ \subset C_{τ}^{*}\} .

The main result obtained in this paper is Theorem 1:

If $G$ is $σ$ -compact and $M_{τ} (C_{τ}^{*}) = V N_{τ}$ then supp $τ$ is discrete and each $π$ in supp $τ$ in CCR.

We apply this theorem to the quasiregular representation $τ = π_{H}$ and obtain among other results that $M_{π_{H}} (C_{π_{H}}^{*}) = V N_{π_{H}}$ implies in many cases that $G / H$ is a compact coset space.
