Abstract

Motivated by statistical applications, this paper introduces Cauchy identities for characters of the compact classical groups. These identities generalize the well-known Cauchy identity for characters of the unitary group, which are Schur functions of symmetric function theory. Application to statistical hypothesis testing is briefly sketched.
