Abstract

In this note, we study the high-temperature convolution introduced in Ref.\ \cite{mergny_cconv}, between two symmetric Bernoulli distributions. We give an analytical expression for both the Stieltjes transform and the density. This result provides the first non-trivial expression for the high-temperature convolution of two distributions and gives a new family of densities, interpolating between the centered binomial distribution with number of trials n=2n{=}2 and probability of success p=1/2p{=}1/2, and the centered and re-scaled arcsine law.
