We say that $f\in Fun(G,k)$ is representative if $m^*(f)$ is in the image of the canonical map $Fun(G,k)\otimes Fun(G,k)\hookrightarrow Fun(G\times G,k)$. Equivalently, $f$ is representative if the span of all functions $g\cdot f : h\mapsto f(h\cdot g)$ is finite dimensional. It follows then that $m^*(f)$ is in fact in (the image of) $R(G)\otimes R(G)$ where $R(G)$ is the space of all representative functions on $G$. [[Peter-Weyl theorem]] says that the continuous representative functions form a dense subspace of the space of all continuous functions on a compact Lie group $G$. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/representative+function/4">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/representative+function/4">v4</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/representative+function">current</a>
