In this paper we introduce probability-preserving convolution algebras on cones of positive semidefinite matrices over one of the division algebras $\b F = \b R, \b C$ or $\b H$ which interpolate the convolution algebras of radial bounded…
Wildberger's construction enables us to obtain a hypergroup from a special graph via random walks. We will give a probability theoretic interpretation to products on the hypergroup. The hypergroup can be identified with a commutative…
We write, for geometric index values, a probabilistic proof of the product formula for spherical Bessel functions. Our proof has the merit to carry over without any further effort to Bessel-type hypergeometric functions of one matrix…
The spherical functions of the noncompact Grassmann manifolds over the real or complex numbers or the quaternions with rank q and dimension parameter p can be seen as Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric functions of type BC, when the double coset…
We show for very general classes of measures on locally compact second countable groups that every Borel measurable quasimorphism is at bounded distance from a quasi-biharmonic one. This allows us to deduce non-degenerate central limit…
We show the existence of a trace process at infinity for random walks on hyperbolic groups of conformal dimension < 2 and relate it to the existence of a reflecting random walk. To do so, we employ the theory of Dirichlet forms which…
One object of interest in random matrix theory is a family of point ensembles (random point configurations) related to various systems of classical orthogonal polynomials. The paper deals with a one--parametric deformation of these…
We study a uniform, quantitative form of the amenability-hyperfiniteness paradigm for bounded-degree Borel graphs generating countable Borel equivalence relations. We introduce \emph{uniform Borel amenability} and prove that it is…
We analyse the limiting behavior of the eigenvalue and singular value distribution for random convolution operators on large (not necessarily Abelian) groups, extending the results by M. Meckes for the Abelian case. We show that for regular…
In the eighties, A. Connes and E. J. Woods made a connection between hyperfinite von Neumann algebras and Poisson boundaries of time dependent random walks. The present paper explains this connection and gives a detailed proof of two…
In this paper we introduce a new family of topological convolution algebras of the form $\bigcup_{p\in\mathbb N} L_2(S,\mu_p)$, where $S$ is a Borel semi-group in a locally compact group $G$, which carries an inequality of the type…
The spherical functions of the noncompact Grassmann manifolds $G_{p,q}(\mathbb F)=G/K$ over the (skew-)fields $\mathbb F=\mathbb R, \mathbb C, \mathbb H$ with rank $q\ge1$ and dimension parameter $p>q$ can be described as Heckman-Opdam…
It is common knowledge that the Fourier transform enjoys the convolution property, i.e., it turns convolution in the time domain into multiplication in the frequency domain. It is probably less known that this property characterizes the…
Maps are polygonal cellular networks on Riemann surfaces. This paper analyzes the construction of closed form general representations for the enumerative generating functions associated to maps of fixed but arbitrary genus. The method of…
We prove an algebra property under pointwise multiplication for Besov spaces defined on Lie groups of polynomial growth. When the setting is restricted to the case of H-type groups, this algebra property is generalized to paraproduct…
We study infinite matrices $A$ indexed by a discrete group $G$ that are dominated by a convolution operator in the sense that $|(Ac)(x)| \leq (a \ast |c|)(x)$ for $x\in G$ and some $a\in \ell ^1(G)$. This class of "convolution-dominated"…
Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $A\subseteq G$ is such that $\{gA:g\in G\}$ has VC-dimension strictly less than $k$. We find algebraically well-structured sets in $G$ which, up to a chosen $\epsilon>0$, describe the structure of $A$ and…
We define a class of "algebraic" random matrices. These are random matrices for which the Stieltjes transform of the limiting eigenvalue distribution function is algebraic, i.e., it satisfies a (bivariate) polynomial equation. The Wigner…
We construct a family of right coideal subalgebras of quantum groups, which have the property that all irreducible representations are one-dimensional, and which are maximal with this property. The obvious examples for this are the standard…
We analyze random walks on a class of semigroups called ``left-regular bands''. These walks include the hyperplane chamber walks of Bidigare, Hanlon, and Rockmore. Using methods of ring theory, we show that the transition matrices are…
