A CLT for Plancherel representations of the infinite-dimensional unitary group (Q357286)

The authors study asymptotics of traces of noncommutative monomials formed by images of certain elements of the universal enveloping algebra of the infinite-dimensional unitary group \(U(\infty)\) in its Plancherel representations. They prove that these traces converge to the moments of a Gaussian process that can be viewed as a collection of nontrivially correlated two-dimensional Gaussian free fields. The limiting family of Gaussian free fields has previously arisen as the scaling limit of spectra of submatrices of Wigner Hermitian random matrices in the work of the first author [``CLT for spectra of submatrices of Wigner random matrices'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1010.0898}]. This paper is an announcement, the proofs can be found in [the authors, ``Plancherel representations of \(U(\infty)\) and correlated Gaussian free fields'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1301.0511}].
