Abstract

This note attempts to understand graph limits as defined by Lovasz and Szegedy (2006)} in terms of harmonic analysis on semigroups. This is done by representing probability distributions of random exchangeable graphs as mixtures of characters on the semigroup of unlabeled graphs with node-disjoint union, thereby providing an alternative derivation of de Finetti's theorem for random exchangeable graphs.
