If G is an arbitrary monoid with multiplication m:G×G→G then m induces a map m*:Fun(G,k)→Fun(G×G,k), m*(f):f↦f∘m. We say that f∈Fun(G,k) is representative if m*(f) is in the image of the canonical map Fun(G,k)⊗Fun(G,k)↪Fun(G×G,k). Equivalently, f is representative if the span of all functions g⋅f:h↦f(h⋅g) is finite dimensional. It follows then that m*(f) is in fact in (the image of) R(G)⊗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.
