Pythagorean representations of Thompson’s groups. (English) Zbl 1512.22006

Summary: We introduce the Pythagorean C*-algebras and use the category/functor method to construct unitary representations of Thompson’s groups from representations of them. We calculate several examples.

MSC:

22D25 \(C^*\)-algebras and \(W^*\)-algebras in relation to group representations
20F65 Geometric group theory
20C15 Ordinary representations and characters
