Pieri Integral Formula and Asymptotics of Jack Unitary Characters
We introduce Jack (unitary) characters and prove two kinds of formulas that
are suitable for their asymptotics, as the lengths of the signatures that
parametrize them go to infinity. The first kind includes several integral
representations for Jack characters of one variable. The second identity we
prove is the Pieri integral formula for Jack characters which, in a sense, is
dual to the well known Pieri rule for Jack polynomials. The Pieri integral
formula can also be seen as a functional equation for irreducible spherical
functions of virtual Gelfand pairs.
As an application of our formulas, we study the asymptotics of Jack
characters as the corresponding signatures grow to infinity in the sense of
Vershik-Kerov. We prove the existence of a small such that the
Jack characters of variables have a uniform limit on the
-neighborhood of the -dimensional torus. Our result specializes to a
theorem of Okounkov and Olshanski.Comment: 39 pages. v2: revised after the referee's comments. To appear in

Linear versus spin: representation theory of the symmetric groups
We relate the linear asymptotic representation theory of the symmetric groups
to its spin counterpart. In particular, we give explicit formulas which express
the normalized irreducible spin characters evaluated on a strict partition
with analogous normalized linear characters evaluated on the double
partition . We also relate some natural filtration on the usual
(linear) Kerov-Olshanski algebra of polynomial functions on the set of Young
diagrams with its spin counterpart. Finally, we give a spin counterpart to
Stanley formula for the characters of the symmetric groups.Comment: 41 pages. Version 2: new text about non-oriented (but orientable)

Jack Derangements
For each integer partition we give a simple combinatorial
expression for the sum of the Jack character over the
integer partitions of with no singleton parts. For this
gives closed forms for the eigenvalues of the permutation and perfect matching
derangement graphs, resolving an open question in algebraic graph theory. A
byproduct of the latter is a simple combinatorial formula for the immanants of
the matrix where is the all-ones matrix, which might be of
independent interest. Our proofs center around a Jack analogue of a hook
product related to Cayley's --process in classical invariant theory,
which we call the principal lower hook product
Universality of global asymptotics of Jack-deformed random Young diagrams at varying temperatures
This paper establishes universal formulas describing the global asymptotics
of two different models of discrete -ensembles in high, low and fixed
temperature regimes. Our results affirmatively answer a question posed by the
second author and \'Sniady.
We first consider the Jack measures on Young diagrams of arbitrary size,
which depend on the inverse temperature parameter and specialize to
Schur measures when . We introduce a class of Jack measures of
Plancherel-type and prove a law of large numbers and central limit theorem in
the three regimes. In each regime, we provide explicit formulas for polynomial
observables of the limit shape and Gaussian fluctuations around the limit
shape. These formulas have surprising positivity properties and are expressed
in terms of weighted lattice paths. We also establish connections between these
measures and the work of Kerov-Okounkov-Olshanski on Jack-positive
specializations and show that this is a rich class of measures parametrized by
the elements in the Thoma cone.
Second, we show that the formulas from limits of Plancherel-type Jack
measures are universal: they also describe the limit shape and Gaussian
fluctuations for the second model of random Young diagrams of a fixed size
defined by Jack characters with the approximate factorization property (AFP)
studied by the second author and \'Sniady. Finally, we discuss the limit shape
in the high/low-temperature regimes and show that, contrary to the continuous
case of -ensembles, there is a phase transition phenomenon in passing
from the fixed temperature regime to the high/low temperature regimes. We note
that the relation we find between the two different models of random Young
diagrams appears to be new, even in the special case of that relates
Schur measures to the character measures with the AFP studied by Biane and
\'Sniady.Comment: 64 pages, 7 figure
