A complete list of indecomposable characters of the infinite symmetric semigroup is given. In comparison with a similar list for the infinite symmetric group, only one new parameter appears, which has a clear combinatorial meaning. The results rely on the representation theory of finite symmetric semigroups and the representation theory of the infinite symmetric group.

We consider the Plancherel measure on irreducible components of tensor powers of the spinor representation of so(2n+1). The irreducible representations correspond to the generalized Young diagrams. With respect to this measure the probability of an irreducible representation is the product of its multiplicity and dimension, divided by the total dimension of the tensor product. We study the limit shape of the generalized Young diagram when the tensor power N and the rank n of the algebra tend to infinity with N/n fixed. We derive an explicit formula for the limit shape and prove convergence to it in probability. We prove central limit theorem for global fluctuations around the limit shape.
