We introduce an algorithm to decompose orthogonal matrix representations of the symmetric group over the reals into irreducible representations, which as a by-product also computes the multiplicities of the irreducible representations. The…

We consider $\beta$--Plancherel measures \cite{Ba.Ra.} on subsets of partitions -- and their asymptotics. These subsets are the Young diagrams contained in a $(k,\ell)$--hook, and we calculate the asymptotics of the expected shape of these…

We relate the linear asymptotic representation theory of the symmetric groups to its spin counterpart. In particular, we give explicit formulas which express the normalized irreducible spin characters evaluated on a strict partition $\xi$…

We discuss implications of the following statement about the representation theory of symmetric groups: every integer appears infinitely often as an irreducible character evaluation, and every nonnegative integer appears infinitely often as…

We introduce the Plancherel measure on the set of partition collections, which parameterize irreducible representations of order n general linear group over a finite field. We prove that as n goes to infinity, the random partitions from the…

We use binary trees to study the Bratteli diagram of Sylow 2-subgroups of symmetric groups. We show that it is simple, has a recursive structure, and self-similarities at all scales. We contrast its subgraph of one-dimensional…

In this paper, we are interested in the asymptotic size of rows and columns of a random Young diagram under a natural deformation of the Plancherel measure coming from Hecke algebras. The first lines of such diagrams are typically of order…

We consider sequences of degrees of ordinary irreducible $S_n$-characters. We assume that the corresponding Young diagrams have rows and columns bounded by some linear function of $n$ with leading coefficient less than one. We show that any…

We study asymptotics of representations of the unitary groups U(n) in the limit as n tends to infinity and we show that in many aspects they behave like large random matrices. In particular, we prove that the highest weight of a random…

The representation theory of the symmetric groups S_n is intimately related to combinatorics: combinatorial objects such as Young tableaux and combinatorial algorithms such as Murnaghan-Nakayama rule. In the limit as n tends to infinity,…

In this work, we obtain the central limit theorem for fluctuations of Young diagrams around their limit shape in the bulk of the "spectrum" of partitions of a large integer n (under the Plancherel measure). More specifically, we show that,…

Let $S$ be a finite set, and $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ an i.i.d. uniform sample from $S$. To estimate the size $|S|$, without further structure, one can wait for repeats and use the birthday problem. This requires a sample size of the order…
