A description of characters on the infinite wreath product

Abstract

Let S\mathfrak{S}_\infty be the infinity permutation group and Γ\Gamma an arbitrary group. Then S\mathfrak{S}_\infty admits a natural action on Γ\Gamma^\infty by automorphisms, so one can form a semidirect product ΓS\Gamma^\infty\rtimes \mathfrak{S}_\infty, known as the {\it wreath} product ΓS\Gamma\wr\mathfrak{S}_\infty of Γ\Gamma by S\mathfrak{S}_{\infty}. We obtain a full description of unitary II1II_1-factor-representations of ΓS\Gamma\wr\mathfrak{S}_\infty in terms of finite characters of Γ\Gamma. Our approach is based on extending Okounkov's classification method for admissible representations of S×S\mathfrak{S}_\infty\times\mathfrak{S}_\infty. Also, we discuss certain examples of representations of type II1II_1, where the {\it modular operator} of Tomita-Takesaki expresses naturally by the asymptotic operators, which are important in the characters-theory of infinite symmetric group.
