The Representation Theorem by Zomorodian and Carlsson has been the starting point of the study of persistent homology under the lens of representation theory. In this work, we give a more accurate statement of the original theorem and provide a complete and self-contained proof. Furthermore, we generalize the statement from the case of linear sequences of R-modules to R-modules indexed over more general monoids. This generalization subsumes the Representation Theorem of multidimensional persistence as a special case.
