[Abstract-pdf]
This paper is largely of expository nature. We determine the spherical functions of positive type on the space $V_\infty= M(\infty, {\bf C})$ relatively to the action of the product group $K_\infty = U(\infty)\times U(\infty)$. The space $V_\infty$ is the inductive limit of the spaces of square complex matrices $V_n=M(n, {\bf C})$, and the group $K_\infty$ is the inductive limit of the product groups $K_n=U(n) \times U(n)$, where $U(n)$ is the unitary group.
Keywords: Square complex matrices, unitary group, inductive limit, function of positive type, spherical function, ergodic measure, generalized Bochner theorem.
