We introduce and characterize central probability distributions on Littelmann paths. Next we establish a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for the generalized Pitmann transform. We then study harmonic functions on…
This is the first in a series of papers devoted to an analogue of the metaplectic representation, namely, the minimal unitary representation of an indefinite orthogonal group; this representation corresponds to the minimal nilpotent…
In this paper we obtain the orthogonality relations for the supergroup U(m|n), which are remarkably different from the ones for the U(N) case. We extend our results for ordinary representations, obtained some time ago, to the case of…
The paper deals with the z-measures on partitions with the deformation (Jack) parameters 2 or 1/2. We provide a detailed explanation of the representation-theoretic origin of these measures, and of their role in the harmonic analysis on the…
The aim of the present survey paper is to provide an accessible introduction to a new chapter of representation theory - harmonic analysis for noncommutative groups with infinite-dimensional dual space. I omitted detailed proofs but tried…
We construct generalized regular representations of the wreath product of a compact group with the infinite symmetric group. The characters of these representations are determined by probability measures on families of partitions called the…
Let $G/H$ be a $p$-adic symmetric space. We compute explicitly the higher relative extension groups for all discrete series representations of $G$ in two examples: the symplectic case and the linear case. The results have immediate…
A group is irreducibly represented if it has a faithful irreducible unitary representation. For countable groups, a criterion for irreducible representability is given, which generalises a result obtained for finite groups by W. Gasch\"utz…
We give a classification of unitary representations of certain Polish, not necessarily locally compact, groups: the groups of all measurable functions with values in the circle and the groups of all continuous functions on compact, second…
We construct generic Gelfand-Tsetlin representations of the $\imath$quantum groups $U_q^{\text{tw}}(\mathfrak{so}_3)$ and $U_q^{\text{tw}}(\mathfrak{so}_4)$. These representations are infinite-dimensional analogs to the finite-dimensional…
Let $G$ be a general linear group over $\BR$, $\BC$, or $\BH$, or a real unitary group. In this paper, we precisely describe the number of isomorphism classes of irreducible Casselman-Wallach representations of $G$ with a given…
Given linear spaces $E$ and $F$ over the real numbers or a field of characteristic zero, a simple argument is given to represent a symmetric multilinear map $u(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n)$ from $E^n$ to $F$ in terms of its restriction to the…
The incidence matrix of a graph is totally unimodular if and only if the graph is bipartite, i.e., it contains no odd cycles. We extend the characterization of total unimodularity to hypergraphs whose hyperedges of size at least four are…
We present a new probabilistic model of compact commutative Lie groups that produces invariant-equivariant and disentangled representations of data. To define the notion of disentangling, we borrow a fundamental principle from physics that…
Motivated by the harmonic analysis of self-affine measures, we introduce a class of representations of the Cuntz algebra associated to random walks on graphs. The representations are constructed using the dilation theory of row…
We collect several foundational results regarding the interaction between locally compact spaces, probability spaces and probability algebras, and commutative $C^*$-algebras and von Neumann algebras equipped with traces, in the…
In the recent paper [arXiv:1109.1412], Borodin and Olshanski have presented a novel proof of the celebrated Edrei-Voiculescu theorem which describes the boundary of the Gelfand-Tsetlin graph as a region in an infinite-dimensional coordinate…
A contractive $n$-tuple $A=(A_1,...,A_n)$ has a minimal joint isometric dilation $S=(S_1,...,S_n)$ where the $S_i$'s are isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. This determines a representation of the Cuntz-Toeplitz algebra. When $A$…
We introduce an infinite-dimensional affine group and construct its irreducible unitary representation. Our approach follows the one used by Vershik, Gelfand and Graev for the diffeomorphism group, but with modifications made necessary by…
We determine the eigenvalues with multiplicity of each element of an alternating group in any irreducible representation. This is equivalent to determining the decomposition of cyclic representations of alternating groups into irreducibles.…
