A homomorphism $\pi$ of a group (respectively an algebra, ring, semi-group) $X$ into the group of all invertible linear operators on a vector space $E$ (respectively, into the algebra, ring, multiplicative semi-group of all linear operators on $E$). If $E$ is a topological vector space, then a linear representation of $X$ on $E$ is a representation whose image contains only continuous linear operators on $E$. The space $E$ is called the representation space of $\pi$ and the operators $\pi(x)$, $x\in X$, are called the operators of the representation $\pi$.
