Groups GL() over finite fields and multiplications of double cosets

Abstract: Let

m a t h b b F

be a finite field. Consider a direct sum

V

of an infinite number of copies of

m a t h b b F

, consider the dual space

V^{d} i a m o n d

, i.~e., the direct product of an infinite number of copies of

m a t h b b F

. Consider the direct sum

m a t h b b V = V o p l u s V^{d} i a m o n d

. The object of the paper is the group

m a t h b f G L

of continuous linear operators in

m a t h b b V

. We reduce the theory of unitary representations of

m a t h b f G L

to projective representations of a certain category whose morphisms are linear relations in finite-dimensional linear spaces over

m a t h b b F

. In fact we consider a certain family

Q_{a} l p h a

of subgroups in

m a t h b b V

preserving two-element flags, show that there is a natural multiplication on spaces of double cosets with respect to

Q_{a} l p h a

, and reduce this multiplication to products of linear relations. We show that this group has type

m a t h r m I

and obtain an 'upper estimate' of the set of all irreducible unitary representations of

m a t h b f G L

.
