Abstract

We extend the notions of finite free convolution and finite free cumulants to the setting of formal power series by introducing their natural analogues, namely tt-deformed convolution and tt-deformed cumulants. In this framework, we establish tt-deformed analogues of the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, revealing structural parallels with classical, free, and finite free probability theories. We show that the case t=1t=-1 recovers classical convolution at the level of moment generating functions, thereby connecting the theory directly to classical probability. We further investigate the infinitesimal generators associated with t\boxplus^t-continuous semigroups, deriving explicit representation formulas that clarify how these generators describe the infinitesimal evolution of the semigroup. In the case t=dt = d, our results yield explicit formulas for finite free infinitesimal generators. In the case t=1t = -1, we relate these generators to those of one-dimensional L\'{e}vy processes by identifying the corresponding terms in their representations. This establishes a direct connection between t\boxplus^t-convolution semigroups and classical L\'{e}vy-Khintchine-type generators.
