Abstract

In this semi-expository article, we investigate the relationship between the imprimitivity introduced by Mackey several decades ago and commuting d- tuples of homogeneous normal operators. The Hahn–Hellinger theorem gives a canonical decomposition of a $$*$$ ∗ - algebra representation $$\rho $$ ρ of $$C_0({\mathbb {S}})$$ C 0 ( S ) (where $${\mathbb {S}}$$ S is a locally compact Hausdorff space) into a direct sum. If there is a group G acting transitively on $${\mathbb {S}}$$ S and is adapted to the $$*$$ ∗ - representation $$\rho $$ ρ via a unitary representation U of the group G, in other words, if there is an imprimitivity, then the Hahn–Hellinger decomposition reduces to just one component, and the group representation U becomes an induced representation, which is Mackey’s imprimitivity theorem. We consider the case where a compact topological space $$S\subset {\mathbb {C}}^d$$ S ⊂ C d decomposes into finitely many G- orbits. In such cases, the imprimitivity based on S admits a decomposition as a direct sum of imprimitivities based on these orbits. This decomposition leads to a correspondence with homogeneous normal tuples whose joint spectrum is precisely the closure of G- orbits.
