Strongly Continuous Representations in the Hilbert Space: A Far-Reaching Concept

We revisit the fundamental notion of continuity in representation theory, with special attention to the study of quantum physics.

Description
Summary:We revisit the fundamental notion of continuity in representation theory, with special attention to the study of quantum physics. After studying the main theorem in the context of representation theory, we draw attention to the significant aspect of continuity in the analytic foundations of Wigner’s work. We conclude the paper by reviewing the connection between continuity, the possibility of defining certain local groups, and their relation to projective representations.
