Jun 4, 2015 at 15:03 comment added ACuriousMind Noone requires the Fock space to be an irreducible representation of $\mathrm{U}(1)$.
Jun 4, 2015 at 14:59 comment added derpeter Thank you for your reply! Specifically, I am thrown off by the statement that the Hilbert space has to be one dimensional which is not the case for a Fock space, for example.

Jun 4, 2015 at 14:34 comment added ACuriousMind I don't understand the question - what do you mean by "translate"? Also, note that there are countably many different irreducible representations of $\mathrm{U}(1)$, which are all one dimensional.
