Abstract

A subspace representation of a poset S={s1,...,st}\mathcal S=\{s_1,...,s_t\} is given by a system (V;V1,...,Vt)(V;V_1,...,V_t) consisting of a vector space VV and its subspaces ViV_i such that ViVjV_i\subseteq V_j if sisjs_i \prec s_j. For each real-valued vector χ=(χ1,...,χt)\chi=(\chi_1,...,\chi_t) with positive components, we define a unitary χ\chi-representation of S\mathcal S as a system (U;U1,...,Ut)(U;U_1,...,U_t) that consists of a unitary space UU and its subspaces UiU_i such that UiUjU_i\subseteq U_j if sisjs_i\prec s_j and satisfies χ1P1+...+χtPt=1\chi_1 P_1+...+\chi_t P_t= \mathbb 1, in which PiP_i is the orthogonal projection onto UiU_i. We prove that S\mathcal S has a finite number of unitarily nonequivalent indecomposable χ\chi-representations for each weight χ\chi if and only if S\mathcal S has a finite number of nonequivalent indecomposable subspace representations; that is, if and only if S\mathcal S contains any of Kleiner's critical posets.
