Finite traces and representations of the group of infinite matrices over a finite field

The infinite-dimensional Iwahori--Hecke algebras $\mathcal{H}_\infty(q)$ are direct limits of the usual finite-dimensional Iwahori--Hecke algebras. They arise in a natural way as convolution algebras of bi-invariant functions on groups $\mathrm{GLB}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ of infinite-dimensional matrices over finite-fields having only finite number of non-zero matrix elements under the diagonal. In 1988 Vershik and Kerov classified all indecomposable positive traces on $\mathcal{H}_\...

The groups mentioned in the title are certain matrix groups of infinite size over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. They are built from finite classical groups and at the same time they are similar to reductive $p$-adic Lie groups. In the present paper, we initiate the study of invariant measures for the coadjoint action of these infinite-dimensional groups. We examine first the group $\mathbb{GLB}$, a topological completion of the inductive limit group $\varinjlim GL(n, \mathb...

We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a $p$-adic field ($p\ne 2$) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group $GL$ of infinite matrices over a residue ring modulo $p^k$. Irreducible representations of the latter group are induced from finite-dimensional representations of certain open subgroups.

In this paper, we investigate the structure and representations of the quantum group ${\mathbf{U}(\infty)}=\mathbf U_\upsilon(\frak{gl}_\infty)$. We will present a realization for $\mathbf{U}(\infty)$, following Beilinson--Lusztig--MacPherson (BLM) \cite{BLM}, and show that the natural algebra homomorphism $\zeta_r$ from $\mathbf{U}(\infty)$ to the infinite $q$-Schur algebra ${\boldsymbol{\mathcal S}}(\infty,r)$ is not surjective for any $r\geq 1$. We will give a BLM type rea...

Let $\mathbb F$ be a finite field. Consider a direct sum $V$ of an infinite number of copies of $\mathbb F$, consider the dual space $V^\diamond$, i.~e., the direct product of an infinite number of copies of $\mathbb F$. Consider the direct sum ${\mathbb V}=V\oplus V^\diamond$. The object of the paper is the group $\mathbf{GL}$ of continuous linear operators in $\mathbb V$. We reduce the theory of unitary representations of $\mathbf{GL}$ to projective representations of a cer...

The induced representation ${\rm Ind}_H^GS$ of a locally compact group $G$ is the unitary representation of the group $G$ associated with unitary representation $S:H\rightarrow U(V)$ of a subgroup $H$ of the group $G$. Our aim is to develop the concept of induced representations for infinite-dimensional groups. The induced representations for infinite-dimensional groups in not unique, as in the case of a locally compact groups. It depends on two completions $\tilde H$ and $\t...

Let $F$ be a non-discrete non-Archimedean locally compact field and $\mathcal{O}_F$ the ring of integers in $F$. The main results of this paper are Theorem 1.2 that classifies ergodic probability measures on the space $\mathrm{Mat}(\mathbb{N}, F)$ of infinite matrices with enties in $F$ with respect to the natural action of the group $\mathrm{GL}(\infty,\mathcal{O}_F) \times \mathrm{GL}(\infty,\mathcal{O}_F)$ and Theorem 1.6 that, for non-dyadic $F$, classifies ergodic probab...

Answering a question of J. Rosenberg, we construct the first examples of infinite characters on $GL_n(\mathbf{K})$ for a global field $\mathbf{K}$ and $n\geq 2.$ The case $n=2$ is deduced from the following more general result. Let $G$ a non amenable countable subgroup acting on locally finite tree $X$. Assume either that the stabilizer in $G$ of every vertex of $X$ is finite or that the closure of the image of $G$ in ${\rm Aut}(X)$ is not amenable. We show that $G$ has uncou...

This paper describes a family of Hecke algebras H_\mu=End_G(Ind_U^G(\psi_\mu)), where U is the subgroup of unipotent upper-triangular matrices of G=GL_n(F_q) and \psi_\mu is a linear character of U. The main results combinatorially index a basis of H_\mu, provide a large commutative subalgebra of H_\mu, and after describing the combinatorics associated with the representation theory of H_\mu, generalize the RSK correspondence that is typically found in the representation theo...
