    Let \(U(\infty)=\varinjlim U(n)\) be the inductive limit of the unitary groups \(U(n)\), \(n=1,2,3,\dots\). Following \textit{G. Olshanskij} [Topics in Representation Theory, Advances in Soviet Mathematics, edited by \textit{A. A. Kirillov} (American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 1991), Vol. 2, pp. 1-66 (1991; Zbl 0739.22015)] the authors call a unitary representation of \(U(\infty)\) \textit{tame} if it is continuous in the group topology in which the descending chain of subgroups of the type \(\left\{\left(\begin{smallmatrix} 1_n& 0\\ 0 & * \end{smallmatrix}\right)\right\}\), \(n=1,2,\dots\), constitutes a fundamental system of neighborhoods of the identity \(1_\infty\). It is known that all unitary irreducible tame representations of \(U(\infty)\) are the inductive limits of unitary representations of \(U(n)\). In the paper under review the structure of \(r\)-fold tensor products of irreducible tame representations of \(U(\infty)\) is described, versions of contragredient representations and invariants are realized, and methods of calculating multiplicities, Clebsch-Gordan, and Racah coefficients are given using invariant theory on Bargman-Segal-Fock spaces.
