Abstract
In this paper we study matrix valued positive definite functions on a unimodular group We generalize two theorems of Godement on L2 positive definite functions We show that a matrixvalued continuous L2 positive definite function can always be written as the convolution of a matrixvalued L2 positive definite function with itself We also prove that given two L2 matrix valued positive definite functions Phi and Psi int G TrPhi g overlinePsi gt d g ge 0 In addition this integral equals zero if and only if Phi Psi =0 Our proofs are operatortheoretic and independent of the group
