Let Γ be a discrete group and 𝒩 a finite factor, and assume that both have Kazhdan's Property (T). For p ∈ [1, +∞), p ≠ 2, let π : Γ →O(Lp(𝒩)) be a homomorphism to the group O(Lp(𝒩)) of linear bijective isometries of the Lp-space of 𝒩. There are two actions πl and πr of a finite index subgroup Γ+ of Γ by automorphisms of 𝒩 associated to π and given by πl(g)x = (π(g) 1)*π(g)(x) and πr(g)x = π(g)(x)(π(g) 1)* for g ∈ Γ+ and x ∈ 𝒩. Assume that πl and πr are ergodic. We prove that π is locally rigid, that is, the orbit of π under O(Lp(𝒩)) is open in Hom (Γ, O(Lp(𝒩))). As a corollary, we obtain that, if moreover Γ is an ICC group, then the embedding g ↦ Ad (λ(g)) is locally rigid in O(Lp(𝒩(Γ))), where 𝒩(Γ) is the von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation λ of Γ.

We study the Toeplitz $C^*$-algebra generated by the right-regular representation of the semigroup ${\mathbb N \rtimes \mathbb N^\times}$, which we call the right Toeplitz algebra. We analyse its structure by studying three distinguished quotients. We show that the multiplicative boundary quotient is isomorphic to a crossed product of the Toeplitz algebra of the additive rationals by an action of the multiplicative rationals, and study its ideal structure. The Crisp--Laca boundary quotient is isomorphic to the $C^*$-algebra of the group ${\mathbb Q_+^\times}\!\! \ltimes \mathbb Q$. There is a natural dynamics on the right Toeplitz algebra and all its KMS states factor through the additive boundary quotient. We describe the KMS simplex for inverse temperatures greater than one.

We study the asymptotics of the reducible representations of the wreath products G≀Sq = Gq ⋊ Sq for large q, where G is a fixed finite group and Sq is the symmetric group in q elements; in particular for G = ℤ/2ℤ we recover the hyperoctahedral groups. We decompose such a reducible representation of G≀Sq as a sum of irreducible components (or, equivalently, as a collection of tuples of Young diagrams) and we ask what is the character of a randomly chosen component (or, what are the shapes of Young diagrams in a randomly chosen tuple). Our main result is that for a large class of representations, the fluctuations of characters (and fluctuations of the shape of the Young diagrams) are asymptotically Gaussian. The considered class consists of the representations for which the characters asymptotically almost factorize and it includes, among others, the left regular representation therefore we prove the analogue of Kerov's central limit theorem for wreath products.

AbstractThe Plancherel formula for the horocycle space, and several generalizations, is derived within the framework of quasi-regular representations which have monomial spectrum. The proof uses only machinery from the Penney-Fujiwara distribution-theoretic technique; no special semisimple harmonic analysis is needed. The Plancherel formulas obtained include the spectral distributions and the intertwining operators that effect the direct integral decomposition of the quasi-regular representation.

The present paper is a sequel to the previous paper bearing the same title by the same authors [3] and which will be hereafter designated by the bold-face Roman numeral I. Further results are obtained in determining whether a given finite non-abelian group G has a graphical regular representation. In particular, an affirmative answer will be given if (|G|, 6) = 1.Inasmuch as much of the machinery of I will be required in the proofs to be presented and a perusal of I is strongly recommended to set the stage and provide motivation for this paper, an independent and redundant introduction will be omitted in the interest of economy.
