A unipotent operator has every eigenvalue equal to one and may create a nonsplit Jordan-block extension.
In the context of representation theory, particularly in the representation theory of algebraic groups and Lie groups, a **unipotent representation** refers to a representation of a group where the action of the group can be represented in a way that is closely related to unipotent matrices.
