Abstract: We prove that the boundary of the Hall-Littlewood t-deformation of the Gelfand-Tsetlin graph is parametrized by infinite integer signatures, extending results of Gorin and Cuenca on boundaries of related deformed Gelfand-Tsetlin graphs. In the special case when 1/t is a prime p we use this to recover results of Bufetov-Qiu and Assiotis on infinite p-adic random matrices, placing them in the general context of branching graphs derived from symmetric functions. Our methods rely on explicit formulas for certain skew Hall-Littlewood polynomials. As a separate corollary to these, we obtain a simple expression for the joint distribution of the cokernels of products A1,A2A1,A3A2A1,ldots of independent Haar-distributed matrices Ai over the p-adic integers mathbbZp. This expression generalizes the explicit formula for the classical Cohen-Lenstra measure on abelian p-groups.
