Abstract

Let N\mathbb{N} be a set of the natural numbers. Symmetric inverse semigroup RR_\infty is the semigroup of all infinite 0-1 matrices [gij]i,jN\left[ g_{ij}\right]_{i,j\in \mathbb{N}} with at most one 1 in each row and each column such that gii=1g_{ii}=1 on the complement of a finite set. The binary operation in RR_\infty is the ordinary matrix multiplication. It is clear that infinite symmetric group S\mathfrak{S}_\infty is a subgroup of RR_\infty. The map :[gij][gji]\star:\left[ g_{ij}\right]\mapsto\left[ g_{ji}\right] is an involution on RR_\infty. We call a function ff on RR_\infty positive definite if for all r1,r2,,rnRr_1, r_2, \ldots, r_n\in R_\infty the matrix [f(rirj)]\left[ f\left( r_ir_j^\star\right)\right] is Hermitian and non-negatively definite. A function ff said to be indecomposable if the corresponding \star-representation πf\pi_f is a factor-representation. A class of the RR_\infty-central functions (characters) is defined by the condition f(rs)=f(sr)f(rs)=f(sr) for all r,sRr,s\in R_\infty. In this paper we classify all factor-representations of RR_\infty that correspond to the RR_\infty-central positive definite functions.
