Abstract

We discuss a central limit theorem in the framework of the group algebra of the Thompson group FF. We consider the sequence of self-adjoint elements given by an=gn+gn2a_n=\frac{g_n+g_n^{*}}{\sqrt{2}} in the noncommutative probability space (C(F),φ)(\mathbb{C}(F),\varphi), where the expectation functional φ\varphi is the trace associated to the left regular representation of FF, and the gng_n-s are the generators of FF in its standard infinite presentation. We show that the limit law of the sequence sn=a0++an1ns_n = \frac{a_0+\cdots+a_{n-1}}{\sqrt{n}} is the standard normal distribution.
