### Cyclicity of the left regular representation of a locally compact group

Zsolt Tanko

#### Abstract

We combine harmonic analysis and operator algebraic techniques to give a concise argument that the left regular representation of a locally compact group is cyclic if and only if the group is first countable, a result first proved by Greenleaf and Moskowitz.
