Regular representation

In mathematics, and in particular the theory of group representations, the regular representation of a group G is the linear representation afforded by the group action of G on itself by translation.

For regular irreducible representations of a finite group, see Gelfand–Graev representation.

One distinguishes the left regular representation λ given by left translation and the right regular representation ρ given by the inverse of right translation.
