Discussion
Clearly, definition (4) implies definition (3). Let us show the converse, assuming local compactness. So let G be a locally compact group satisfying (3). By Theorem 1.3.1 of Bekka et al., G is compactly generated. Therefore, Remark 1.1.2(v) of Bekka et al. tells us the following. If we take K to be a compact generating set of G, and let ε be any positive real number, then a unitary representation of G having an (ε, K)-invariant unit vector has (ε', K ')-invariant unit vectors for every ε' > 0 and K ' compact. Therefore, by (3), such a representation of G will have a nonzero invariant vector, establishing (4).
The equivalence of (4) and (5) (Property (FH)) is the Delorme-Guichardet Theorem. The fact that (5) implies (4) requires us to assume that G is σ-compact (and locally compact) (Bekka et al., Theorem 2.12.4).

Famous quotes containing the word discussion:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“If we had had more time for discussion we should probably have made a great many more mistakes.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“My companion and I, having a minute’s discussion on some point of ancient history, were amused by the attitude which the Indian, who could not tell what we were talking about, assumed. He constituted himself umpire, and, judging by our air and gesture, he very seriously remarked from time to time, “you beat,” or “he beat.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
