Irreducibility of the Koopman representations for the group ${\rm GL}_0(2\infty,{\mathbb R})$ acting on three infinite rows

We study Koopman and quasi-regular representations corresponding to the action of arbitrary weakly branch group G on the boundary of a rooted tree T. One of the main results is that in the case of a quasi-invariant Bernoulli measure on the boundary of T the corresponding Koopman representation of G is irreducible (under some general conditions). We also show that quasi-regular representations of G corresponding to different orbits and Koopman representations corresponding to ...

Every invertible, measure-preserving dynamical system induces a Koopman operator, which is a linear, unitary evolution operator acting on the $L^2$ space of observables associated with the invariant measure. Koopman eigenfunctions represent the quasiperiodic, or non-mixing, component of the dynamics. The extraction of these eigenfunctions and their associated eigenfrequencies from a given time series is a non-trivial problem when the underlying system has a dense point spectr...

The Koopman operator has gained significant attention in recent years for its ability to verify evolutionary properties of continuous-time nonlinear systems by lifting state variables into an infinite-dimensional linear vector space. The challenge remains in providing estimations for transitional properties pertaining to the system's vector fields based on discrete-time observations. To retrieve such infinitesimal system transition information, leveraging the structure of Koo...

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 spherical dual to (G,K) (that is, the set of irreducible spherical unitary representations) is an infinite-dimensional space. For such Gelfand pairs, the conventional scheme of harmonic analysis is not applicable and it has to be suitably modified...

These lecture notes contain an introduction to some of the fundamental ideas and results in analysis and probability on infinite-dimensional spaces, mainly Gaussian measures on Banach spaces. They originated as the notes for a topics course at Cornell University in 2011.

A discrete frame for $L^2({\mathbb R}^d)$ is a countable sequence $\{e_j\}_{j\in J}$ in $L^2({\mathbb R}^d)$ together with real constants $0<A\leq B< \infty$ such that $$ A\|f\|_2^2 \leq \sum_{j\in J}|\langle f,e_j \rangle |^2 \leq B\|f\|_2^2,$$ for all $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$. We present a method of sampling continuous frames, which arise from square-integrable representations of affine-type groups, to create discrete frames for high-dimensional signals. Our method relies o...

Using a generalised Bochner type representation for Olshanski spherical pairs, we establish a L\'evy-Khinchin formula for the continuous functions of negative type on the space $V_\infty= M(\infty, \mathbb C)$ of infinite dimensional square complex matrices relatively to the action of the product group $K_\infty=U(\infty)\times U(\infty)$. The space $V_\infty$ is the inductive limit of the spaces $V_n=M(n, \mathbb C)$, and the group $K_\infty$ is the inductive limit of the pr...

We establish an optimal (topological) irreducibility criterion for $p$-adic Banach principal series of $\mathrm{GL}_{n}(F)$, where $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is finite and $n \le 3$. This is new for $n = 3$ as well as for $n = 2$, $F \ne \mathbb{Q}_p$ and establishes a refined version of Schneider's conjecture [Sch06, Conjecture 2.5] for these groups.

Let $G$ be a finite group with $k$ conjugacy classes, and $S(\infty)$ be the infinite symmetric group, i.e. the group of finite permutations of $\left\{1,2,3,\ldots\right\}$. Then the wreath product $G_{\infty}=G\sim S(\infty)$ of $G$ with $S(\infty)$ (called the big wreath product) can be defined. The group $G_{\infty}$ is a generalization of the infinite symmetric group, and it is an example of a ``big'' group, in Vershik's terminology. For such groups the two-sided regular...

In this work, we study multiplicity-free induced representations of finite groups. We analyze in great detail the structure of the Hecke algebra corresponding to the commutant of an induced representation and then specialize to the multiplicity-free case. We then develop a suitable theory of spherical functions that, in the case of induction of the trivial representation of the subgroup, reduces to the classical theory of spherical functions for finite Gelfand pairs. \par We ...
