Herz–Schur multiplier

In the mathematical field of representation theory, a Herz–Schur multiplier (named after Carl S. Herz and Issai Schur) is a special kind of mapping from a group to the field of complex numbers.

Definition

Let Ψ be a mapping of a group G to the complex numbers. It is a Herz–Schur multiplier if the induced map Ψ: N(G) → N(G) is a completely positive map, where N(G) is the closure of the span M of the image of λ in B(ℓ ²(G)) with respect to the weak topology, λ is the left regular representation of G and Ψ is on M defined as

${\displaystyle \Psi :~\sum \limits _{g\in G}\mu _{g}\lambda _{g}\mapsto \sum \limits _{g\in G}\psi (g)\mu _{g}\lambda _{g}.}$
