The Limit Shape of a Probability Measure on a Tensor Product of Modules of the Bn Algebra

Abstract

We study a probability measure on the integral dominant weights in the decomposition of the Nth tensor power of the spinor representation of the Lie algebra so(2n + 1). The probability of a dominant weight λ is defined as the dimension of the irreducible component of λ divided by the total dimension 2^nN of the tensor power. We prove that as N →∞, the measure weakly converges to the radial part of the SO(2n+1)-invariant measure on so(2n+1) induced by the Killing form. Thus, we generalize Kerov’s theorem for su(n) to so(2n + 1).
