Representations of Lie groups and random matrices

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the asymptotics of representations of a fixed compact Lie group. We prove that the limit behavior of a sequence of such representations can be described in terms of certain random matrices; in particular operations on representations (for example: tensor product, restriction to a subgroup) correspond to some natural operations on random matrices (respectively: sum of independent random matrices, taking the corners of a random matrix). Our method of proof is to treat the canonical block matrix associated to a representation as a random matrix with non-commutative entries.
