Abstract

Many integer sequences arise as numbers of GG-orbits on (Xn)\binom{X}{n} as nn varies, for a permutation group GSym(X)G\subseteq \operatorname{Sym}(X). For finite XX, Stanley proved that these finite sequences increase towards the middle using an action of the Lie algebra sl2(C)\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C}). For infinite sets XX, and hence infinite sequences, Cameron provided an argument for monotonicity by identifying orbits with a vector space basis of the orbit algebra HG,X\mathsf{H}_{G,X}^{\star}, and proving injectivity of a certain operator HG,XHG,X+1\mathsf{H}_{G,X}^{\star}\to \mathsf{H}_{G,X}^{\star+1}. In this paper we generalize Stanley's approach to oligomorphic groups, and in particular extend Cameron's operator to a full sl2(C)\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})-action on HG,X\mathsf{H}_{G,X}^{\star}. As intermediate step, we define for every oligomorphic permutation group GSym(X)G\subseteq \operatorname{Sym}(X) the XX-th tensor power (kr)X(k^r)^{\otimes X}, generalizing work of Entova-Aizenbud. We show that this space carries natural commuting actions of GG and the Lie algebra glr(k)\mathfrak{gl}_r(k), the latter depending on a Harman-Snowden measure μ\mu on GG. We then show that HG,X(C2)X\mathsf{H}_{G,X}^{\star}\subseteq (\mathbb{C}^2)^{\otimes X} has an ascending filtration by sl2(C)\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})-Verma modules. We explain how our approach applies to Fibonacci numbers, Tribonacci numbers, etc. by constructing measures on products with (Q,<)(\mathbb{Q},<).
