Abstract

Consider probabilistic distributions on the space of infinite Hermitian matrices Herm()Herm(\infty) invariant with respect to the unitary group U()U(\infty). We describe the closure of U()U(\infty) in the space of spreading maps (polymorphisms) of Herm()Herm(\infty), this closure is a semigroup isomorphic to the semigroup of all contractive operators.
