ABSTRACT
We consider random arrays indexed by the leaves of an infinitary rooted tree of finite depth, with the distribution invariant under the rearrangements that preserve the tree structure. We call such arrays hierarchically exchangeable and prove that they satisfy an analogue of de Finetti's theorem. We also prove a more general result for arrays indexed by several trees, which includes a hierarchical version of the Aldous-Hoover representation.

We use Kashiwara crystal basis theory to associate a random walk î”¶ to each irreducible representation V of a simple Lie algebra. This is achieved by endowing the crystal attached to V with a (possibly non-uniform) probability distribution compatible with its weight graduation. We then...

We give an expression of the speed of the biased random walk on a Galton-Watson tree. In the particular case of the simple random walk, we recover the result of Lyons et al. (Erg Theory Dyn Syst 15:593-619, ). The proof uses a description of the invariant distribution of the environment seen...

The meteor process is a model for mass redistribution on a graph. The case of finite graphs was analyzed in Billey et al. (On meteors, earthworms and WIMPs. Ann Appl Probab, ). This paper is devoted to the meteor process on $${\mathbb {Z}}^d$$ . The process is constructed and a stationary...

New applications of categorical methods are connected with new additional structures on categories. One of such structures in representation theory of quantum algebras, the category of Kuznetsov-Smorodinsky-Vilenkin-Smirnov (KSVS) trees, is constructed, whose objects are finite rooted KSVS trees...

We give an elementary introduction to the construction of probability distributions on sets of infinite graphs, called random graphs, as limits of ensembles of finite graphs motivated by a brief discussion of the incipient infinite cluster in bond percolation on an infinite graph. The Hausdorff...

A spidernet is a graph obtained by adding large cycles to an almost regular tree and considered as an example having intermediate properties of lattices and trees in the study of discrete-time quantum walks on graphs. We introduce the Grover walk on a spidernet and its one-dimensional reduction....

Let G be a finite group and H a normal subgroup. D(H; G) is the crossed product of C(H) and CG which is only a subalgebra of D(G), the double algebra of G. One can construct a C*-subalgebra FH of the field algebra F of G-spin models, so that FH is a D(H; G)-module algebra, whereas F is not. Then...

We develop a representation theory for $${\lambda}$$ -lattices, arising as standard invariants of subfactors, and for rigid C*-tensor categories, including a definition of their universal C*-algebra. We use this to give a systematic account of approximation and rigidity properties for subfactors...

This note is motivated by a recently published paper (Biswas and Mukherjee in Commun Math Phys 322(2):373-384, ). We prove a no-go result for the existence of suitable solutions of the Strominger system in a compact complex parallelizable manifold $${M = G/\Gamma}$$ . For this, we assume G to be...
