In 1947 I. E. Segal proved that to each non-degenerate ~ -representation R of L1 (= L1 (G) for a compact group G) with representation space , there corresponds a continuous unitary representation W of G, also with representation space , which satisfies

for each fL1 and hk . This was extended to Lp,1 p < , in 1970 by E. Hewitt and K. A. Ross. We now generalize this result to any symmetric homogeneous convolution Banach alebra of pseudomeasures on G. Further we prove that the correspondence preserves irreduibility.
