Abstract

The Thoma simplex Ω\Omega is an infinite-dimensional space, a kind of dual object to the infinite symmetric group. The z-measures are a family of probability measures on Ω\Omega depending on three continuous parameters. One of them is the parameter of the Jack symmetric functions, and in the limit when it goes to 00, the z-measures turn into the Poisson-Dirichlet distributions. The definition of the z-measures is somewhat implicit. We show that the topological support of any nondegenerate z-measure is the whole space Ω\Omega. The proof is based on results of arXiv:0902.3395 and arXiv:1806.07454.
