A matrix representation of $Bbb Z$ has the form $nmapsto A^n$ where $A$ is a nonsingular matrix. Not all nonsingular matrices are unitary; indeed not all nonsingular matrices are similar to unitary matrices.

Ok. I also looked it up, and apparently $e^{ik}$ might be unitary. What if we put $rneq1$ in front? Does this have any chance?

The representation $T:Bbb{Z} to operatorname{GL}(2,Bbb{C}), z mapsto begin{bmatrix}1 & 0\z & 1end{bmatrix}$ is nonunitary.
