The infinite-dimensional unitary group U(infinity) is the inductive limit of growing compact unitary groups U(N). In this paper we solve a problem of harmonic analysis on U(infinity) stated in the previous paper math/0109193. The problem…
The goal of harmonic analysis on a (noncommutative) group is to decompose the most `natural' unitary representations of this group (like the regular representation) on irreducible ones. The infinite-dimensional unitary group U(infinity) is…
We construct a four-parameter family of Markov processes on infinite Gelfand-Tsetlin schemes that preserve the class of central (Gibbs) measures. Any process in the family induces a Feller Markov process on the infinite-dimensional boundary…
We study a 2-parametric family of probability measures on the space of countable point configurations on the punctured real line (the points of the random configuration are concentrated near zero). These measures (or, equivalently, point…
Let S be the group of finite permutations of the naturals 1,2,... The subject of the paper is harmonic analysis for the Gelfand pair (G,K), where G stands for the product of two copies of S while K is the diagonal subgroup in G. The…
The main result of this note is that the shift of the parameter by 1 in the parameter space of decomposing measures in the problem of harmonic analysis on the infinite-dimensional unitary group corresponds to the taking of the reduced Palm…
A continuation of the joint work by Vadim Gorin and the author, J. Funct. Anal. 270 (2016), 375-418; arXiv:1504.06832. The extended Gelfand-Tsetlin graph, introduced in that paper, is a novel combinatorial object. Its q-boundary is formed…
We prove pairwise disjointness of representations T_{z,w} of the infinite-dimensional unitary group. These representations provide a natural generalization of the regular representation for the case of "big" group U(\infty). They were…
We study a two-dimensional family of probability measures on infinite Gelfand-Tsetlin schemes induced by a distinguished family of extreme characters of the infinite-dimensional unitary group. These measures are unitary group analogs of the…
The goal of the paper is to describe new connections between representation theory and algebraic combinatorics on one side, and probability theory on the other side. The central result is a construction, by essentially algebraic tools, of a…
We define a one-parameter family of two-sided coideals in U_q(gl(n)) and study the corresponding algebras of infinitesimally right invariant functions on the quantum unitary group U_q(n). The Plancherel decomposition of these algebras with…
We give a summary of the results from Parts I-V (math.RT/9804086, math.RT/9804087, math.RT/9804088, math.RT/9810013, math.RT/9810014). Our work originated from harmonic analysis on the infinite symmetric group. The problem of spectral…
We introduce and study a 2-parameter family of unitarily invariant probability measures on the space of infinite Hermitian matrices. We show that the decomposition of a measure from this family on ergodic components is described by a…
We obtain a closed form expression of the universal T-matrix encapsulating the duality of the quantum superalgebra U_q[osp(1/2)] and the corresponding supergroup OSp_q(1/2). The classical q-->1 limit of this universal T-matrix yields 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 study some classes of symmetric operators for the discrete series representations of the quantum algebra U_q(su_{1,1}), which may serve as Hamiltonians of various physical systems. The problem of diagonalization of these operators…
The problem of the description of finite factor representations of the infinite-dimensional unitary group, investigated by Voiculescu in 1976, is equivalent to the description of all totally positive Toeplitz matrices. Vershik-Kerov showed…
Using Okounkov's $q$-integral representation of Macdonald polynomials we construct an infinite sequence $\Omega_1,\Omega_2,\Omega_3,\dots$ of countable sets linked by transition probabilities from $\Omega_N$ to $\Omega_{N-1}$ for each…
We introduce and study a new family of $q$-translation-invariant determinantal point processes on the two-sided $q$-lattice. We prove that these processes are limits of the $q$-$zw$ measures, which arise in the $q$-deformation of harmonic…
For the nonstandard $q$-deformed algebras $U_q(so_n)$, defined recently in terms of trilinear relations for generating elements, most general finite dimensional irreducible representations directly corresponding to those of nondeformed…
