Understanding the problem

Read the background

A discrete group is amenable if and only if every uniformly bounded representation of it on a complex Hilbert space is similar to a unitary representation.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves Dixmier’s unitarizability problem for all discrete groups.

What counts as progress

Must every unitarizable discrete group be amenable?
