An analytic series of irreducible representations of the free group
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 38 (1988) no. 1, pp. 87-110.

Soit F k un groupe libre avec k générateurs. On construit une série des représentations uniformément bornées z de F k qui opèrent sur un espace de Hilbert commun. Les représentations z sont irréductibles et dépendent analytiquement d’un paramètre complexe z tel que 1/(2k-1)<|z|<1. Pour z réel ou |z|=1/(2k-1) les z sont unitaires; autrement z ne sont pas unitarisables. Pour zz les différences z - z sont des opérateurs compacts.

Let F k be a free group on k generators. We construct the series of uniformly bounded representations z of F k acting on the common Hilbert space, depending analytically on the complex parameter z, 1/(2k-1)<|z|<1, such that each representation z is irreducible. If z is real or |z|=1/(2k-1) then z is unitary; in other cases z cannot be made unitary. For zz representations z and z are congruent modulo compact operators.
