AboutAbout the lab
Walking the boundary between probability and representation theory.
Prof. Hora studies the boundary region between probability theory and the representation theory of groups.
The guiding idea is the concept of a measure, and a tendency to take detours along the way is what gives this approach its character.
Interest centers on bridging the finite and the infinite, with limit theorems, asymptotic representation theory, and noncommutative harmonic analysis as keywords.
The current main interest is the analysis of probabilistic phenomena generated by the actions of huge groups.
Key terms
- Measure
- A way of assigning a numerical "size" to sets and shapes. Probability is one example
- Representation theory
- A field that studies abstract objects such as groups by replacing them with collections of matrices
- Limit theorem
- A theorem describing the definite form that emerges as a whole when a large number of chance events accumulate

*Illustrative imageThe Boundary Between Probability and Representation Theory
The lab moves back and forth between probability theory and the representation theory of groups. The concept of a measure serves as the guide, and a tendency to take detours along the way is what gives this approach its character.
