Abstract

We study asymptotic expansions in free probability. In a class of classical limit theorems Edgeworth expansion can be obtained via a general approach using sequences of "influence" functions of individual random elements described by vectors of real parameters (ε1,...,εn)(\varepsilon_1,..., \varepsilon_n), that is by a sequence of functions hn(ε1,...,εn;t)h_n(\varepsilon_1,..., \varepsilon_n;t), εj1n|\varepsilon_j| \leq \frac 1 {\sqrt n}, j=1,...,nj=1,...,n, tRt\in {\mathbb R} (or C{\mathbb C}) which are smooth, symmetric, compatible and have vanishing first derivatives at zero. In this work we expand this approach to free probability. As a sequence of functions hn(ε1,...,εn;t)h_n(\varepsilon_1,..., \varepsilon_n;t) we consider a sequence of the Cauchy transforms of the sum j=1nεjXj\sum_{j=1}^n \varepsilon_j X_j , where (Xj)j=1n(X_j)_{j=1}^n are free identically distributed random variables with nine moments. We derive Edgeworth type expansions for distributions and densities (under the additional assumption that supp(X1)[n3,n3]{supp} (X_1) \subset [-\sqrt [3]n, \sqrt [3]n]) of the sum 1nj=1nXj\frac 1 {\sqrt n} \sum_{j=1}^n X_j within the interval (2,2)(-2,2).

Comments

We remove the condition of bounded support of measures and require nine moments. Some typos have been corrected
