Suppose $pi$ is a finite dimensional representation of $C^*$ algebra $A$ on a Hilbert space $H$,then $pi$ is the direct sum of finite dimensional irreducible subrepresentations.



My quesion is :If $pi$ is an infinite dimensional representation of $C^*$ algebra $A$ on a Hilbert space $H$ with dim($H$)=$infty$.Does there exsit a finite dimensional representation of A on $H_0$,where $H_0$ is a subspace of $H$?Can we decompose the infinite dimensional representation?

          Not necessarily. Take $A=B(H)$, and $pi$ the identity representation.



          More generally, take $A$ any C$^*$-algebra with $pi$ an infinite-dimensional irreducible representation (easy examples of such $A$ are $K(H)$ and UHF$(2^infty)$). This $pi$ cannot have summands, since $pi(A)'=mathbb C$.
