The Schur--Weyl graph and Thoma's theorem

Representation Theory 2021-07-20 v1

Abstract

We define a graded graph, called the Schur--Weyl graph, which arises naturally when one considers simultaneously the RSK algorithm and the classical duality between representations of the symmetric and general linear groups. As one of the first applications of this graph, we give a new proof of the completeness of the list of discrete indecomposable characters of the infinite symmetric group.
