Group I

Let X be the set of all natural numbers and let be the group of all finite permutations of X. The group equipped with the discrete topology, is called the infinite symmetric group. It was discussed in F. J. Murray and J. von Neumann as a concrete example of an ICC-group, which is a discrete group with infinite conjugacy classes. It is proved that the regular representation of an ICC-group is a factor representation of type II1. The infinite symmetric group is, therefore, a group not of type I. This may be the reason why its unitary representations have not been investigated satisfactorily. In fact, only few results are known. For instance, all indecomposable central positive definite functions on , which are related to factor representations of type IIl, were given by E. Thoma. Later on, A. M. Vershik and S. V. Kerov obtained the same result by a different method in and gave a realization of the representations of type II1 in. Concerning irreducible representations, A. Lieberman and G. I. Ol’shanskii obtained a characterization of a certain family of countably many irreducible representations by introducing a particular topology in However, irreducible representations have been studied not so actively as factor representations.

A new ‘most economical’ algorithm for the construction of diatomics in molecules secular equations is described. The method does not require the basis functions to be written down explicitly, since overlap may be factored out of the equations entirely. The theory is presented in detail for the particular case of homogeneous alkali metal clusters. A knowledge of the irreducible representations of the symmetric group for the Jahn-Serber basis set is necessary. The irreducible representations are derived by a genealogical procedure. Some preliminary calculations are presented for the molecules Li 3 through Li 6 , Li + 3 and Li + 4 . The lithium clusters are found to be stable with respect to all possible dissociations, and the i.ps of Li 3 and Li 4 are in agreement with the trends for the species Na 3 , Na 4 , K 3 , K 4 , etc., whose i.ps have been measured experimentally.

A $\lambda$-ring version of a Frobenius characteristic for groups of the form $G \wr S_n$ is given. Our methods provide natural analogs of classic results in the representation theory of the symmetric group. Included is a method decompose the Kronecker product of two irreducible representations of $G\wr S_n$ into its irreducible components along with generalizations of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule, the Hall inner product, and the reproducing kernel for $G\wr S_n$.

Asymptotic Combinatorics

Search for Young diagrams with maximum dimensions or, equivalently, search for irreducible representations of the symmetric group $S(n)$ with maximum dimensions is an important problem of asymptotic combinatorics. In this paper, we propose algorithms that transform a Young diagram into another one of the same size but with a larger dimension. As a result of massive numerical experiments, the sequence of $10^6$ Young diagrams with large dimensions was constructed. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms do not change the first 1000 elements of this sequence. This may indicate that most of them have the maximum dimension. It has been found that the dimensions of all Young diagrams of the resulting sequence starting from the 75778th exceed the dimensions of corresponding diagrams of the greedy Plancherel sequence.

The infinite symmetric group is the discrete group of all finite permutations of the set X of all natural numbers. Among discrete groups, it has distinctive features from the viewpoint of representation theory and harmonic analysis. First, it is one of the most typical ICC-groups as well as free groups and known to be a group of non-type I. Secondly, it is a locally finite group, namely, the inductive limit of usual symmetric groups . Furthermore it is contained in infinite dimensional classical groups GL(ξ), O(ξ) and U(ξ) and their representation theories are related each other.

The results of the present paper can be interpreted (a) in terms of the theory of the representations of the symmetric group, or (b) in terms of the corresponding theory of the full linear group. In the latter connection they give a solution to the problem of the expression of an invariant matrix of an invariant matrix as a sum of invariant matrices, in the sense of Schur's Dissertation. D. E. Littlewood has pointed out the significance of this problem for invariant theory and has attacked it via Schur functions, i.e. characters of the irreducible representations of the full linear group. We shall confine our attention here to the interpretation (a).
