Abstract: We study matrix integration over the classical Lie groups U(N),Sp(2N),O(2N) and O(2N+1), using symmetric function theory and the equivalent formulation in terms of determinants and minors of ToeplitzpmHankel matrices. We establish a number of factorizations and expansions for such integrals, also with insertions of irreducible characters. As a specific example, we compute both at finite and large N the partition functions, Wilson loops and Hopf links of Chern-Simons theory on S3 with the aforementioned symmetry groups. The identities found for the general models translate in this context to relations between observables of the theory. Finally, we use character expansions to evaluate averages in random matrix ensembles of Chern-Simons type, describing the spectra of solvable fermionic models with matrix degrees of freedom.
