Abstract
This seminar report contains a detailed account of the proof of the main results in Monod and Ozawa's recent JFA paper on the Dixmier unitarizability problem. The proof is exactly identical to their proof, but our more pedestrian presentation is hopefully more accessible to nonexperts. This text is not intended for publication (but it might end up as part of an updated version of our Springer Lecture Notes 1618).
