Infinite Dimensional Harmonic Analysis IV: On the Interplay Between Representation Theory, Random Matrices, Special Functions, and Probability - Proceedings of the Fourth German-Japanese Symposium

"The Fourth Conference on Infinite Dimensional Harmonic Analysis brought together experts in harmonic analysis, operator algebras and probability theory. Most of the articles deal with the limit behavior of systems with many degrees of freedom in the presence of symmetry constraints. This volume gives new directions in research bringing together probability theory and representation theory."--Jacket CONTENTS Preface Index Theory for Wiener-Hopf Operators on Convex Cones A.
