We construct a family of Pfaffian point processes relevant for the harmonic analysis on the infinite symmetric group. The correlation functions of these processes are representable as Pfaffians with matrix valued kernels. We give explicit formulae for the matrix valued kernels in terms of the classical Whittaker functions. The obtained formulae have the same structure as that arising in the study of symplectic ensembles of Random Matrix Theory.

We use Kazhdan-Lusztig bases of representations of the symmetric group to express Pfaffians with entries $(a_i-a_j) h_{i+j}$. In the case where the parameters $a_i$ are specialized to successive powers of $q$, and the $h_i$ are complete functions, we obtain the $q$-discriminant.
In this paper we give Pfaffian expressions and constant term identities for the enumeration problems presented by Mills, Robbins and Rumsey (``Self-complementary totally symmetric plane partitions'' J. Combin. Theory Ser. A, 42, 277--292), concerning the totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions (TSSCPPs). We also present some new conjectures and give Pfaffian expressions for them.
We describe noncommutative desingularizations of determinantal varieties, determinantal varieties defined by minors of generic symmetric matrices, and pfaffian varieties defined by pfaffians of generic anti-symmetric matrices. For maximal minors of square matrices and symmetric matrices, this gives a non-commutative crepant resolution. Along the way, we describe a method to calculate the quiver with relations for any non-commutative desingularizations coming from exceptional collections over partial flag varieties.
Let $(G,K)$ be one of the following classical irreducible Hermitian symmetric pairs of noncompact type: $(SU(p,q), S(U(p) \times U(q))),(Sp(n,R), U(n))$, or $(SO*(2n), U(n))$. Let $G_{\mathbb C}$ and $K_{\mathbb C}$ be complexifications of $G$ and $K$, respectively, and let $P$ be a maximal parabolic subgroup of $G_{\mathbb C}$ whose Levi subgroup is $K_{\mathbb C}$. Let $V$ be the holomorphic part of the complexifiaction of the tangent space at the origin of $G/K$. It is well known that the ring of $K_{\mathbb C}$-invariant differential operators on $V$ has a generating system $\{\varGamma_k …
Let $(Q,σ)$ be a symmetric quiver, where $Q=(Q_0,Q_1)$ is a finite quiver without oriented cycles and $σ$ is a contravariant involution on $Q_0\sqcup Q_1$. The involution allows us to define a nondegenerate bilinear form $<,>$ on a representation $V$ of $Q$. We shall call the representation orthogonal if $<,>$ is symmetric and symplectic if $<,>$ is skew-symmetric. Moreover we can define an action of products of classical groups on the space of orthogonal representations and on the space of symplectic representations. For symmetric quivers of finite type, we prove that the rings of semi-invari…
This is my PhD thesis supervised by Professor Jerzy Weyman. A symmetric quiver $(Q,σ)$ is a finite quiver without oriented cycles $Q=(Q_0,Q_1)$ equipped with a contravariant involution $σ$ on $Q_0\sqcup Q_1$. The involution allows us to define a nondegenerate bilinear form $<,>$ on a representation $V$ of $Q$. We shall say that $V$ is orthogonal if $<,>$ is symmetric and symplectic if $<,>$ is skew-symmetric. Moreover we define an action of products of classical groups on the space of orthogonal representations and on the space of symplectic representations. So we prove that if $(Q,σ)$ is a sy…

The Del Pezzo surface $Y$ of degree 5 is the blow up of the plane in 4 general points, embedded in $\mathbb{P}^5$ by the system of cubics passing through these points. It is the simplest example of the Buchsbaum-Eisenbud theorem on arithmetically-Gorenstein subvarieties of codimension 3 being Pfaffian. Its automorphism group is the symmetric group $\mathfrak S_5$. We give canonical explicit $\mathfrak S_5$-invariant Pfaffian equations through a $6 \times 6$ antisymmetric matrix. We give concrete geometric descriptions of the irreducible representations of $\mathfrak S_5$. Finally, we give $\ma…
We give a complete list of indecomposable characters of the infinite symmetric semigroup. In comparison with the analogous list for the infinite symmetric group, one should introduce only one new parameter, which has a clear combinatorial meaning. The paper relies on the representation theory of the finite symmetric semigroups and the representation theory of the infinite symmetric group.
In this paper, we review the representation theory of the infinite symmetric group, and we extend the works of Kerov and Vershik by proving that the irreducible characters of the infinite symmetric group always satisfy a central limit theorem. Hence, for any point of the Thoma simplex, the corresponding measures on the levels of the Young graph have a property of gaussian concentration. By using the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth algorithm and the theory of Pitman operators, we relate these results to the properties of certain random permutations obtained by riffle shuffles, and to the behaviour of …
We classify all irreducible admissible representations of three Olshanski pairs connected to the infinite symmetric group. In particular, our methods yield two simple proofs of the classical Thoma's description of the characters of the infinite symmetric group. Also, we discuss a certain operation called mixture of representations which provides a uniform construction of all irreducible admissible representations.
We show that the class of inductive limits of the representations of finite symmetric groups with simple spectrum coinsides with the class of Markov representations of the infinite symmetric group associated with Markov measures on the space of infinite Young tableaux. We also show that the representations of infinite symmetric group induced from identity representation of two-block Young subgroup are Markov representations and find explicit formulas for transition probabilities of corresponding Markov measure on the Young diagrmas. Induced two-row representations of finite symmetric group are…
The involution Stanley symmetric functions $\hat{F}_y$ are the stable limits of the analogues of Schubert polynomials for the orbits of the orthogonal group in the flag variety. These symmetric functions are also generating functions for involution words, and are indexed by the involutions in the symmetric group. By construction each $\hat{F}_y$ is a sum of Stanley symmetric functions and therefore Schur positive. We prove the stronger fact that these power series are Schur $P$-positive. We give an algorithm to efficiently compute the decomposition of $\hat{F}_y$ into Schur $P$-summands, and p…
We review and introduce several approaches to the study of centralizer algebras of the infinite symmetric group $S_\infty$. Our study is led by the double commutant relationships between finite symmetric groups and partition algebras; each approach produces a centralizer algebra that is contained in a partition algebra. Our goal is to incorporate invariants of $S_\infty$, which ties our work to the study of symmetric functions in non-commuting variables. We resultantly explore sequence spaces as permutation modules, which yields families of non-unitary representations of $S_\infty$.
We consider a product of three copies of infinite symmetric group and its representations spherical with respect to the diagonal subgroup. We show that such representations generate functors from a certain category of simplicial two-dimensional surfaces to the category of Hilbert spaces and bounded linear operators.
We show that double cosets of the infinite symmetric group with respect to some special subgroups admit natural structures of semigroups. We interpret elements of such semigroups in combinatorial terms (chips, colored graphs, two-dimensional surfaces with polygonal tiling) and describe explicitly the multiplications.
