Abstract

The systematic investigation of infinite dimensional unitary representations of Lie groups began with the works of V. Bargmann[1947] on SL(2, R) and I. M. Gelfand-M. A. Naimark[1947] on SL(2,C). The theory of the finite dimensional representations of Lie algebras and Lie groups had been established by E. Cartan[1913] and H. Weyl[1925/26], [1934/35]. However the finite dimensional theory did not develop spontaneously into the infinite dimensional one. The purpose of this paper is to study the circumstances.
