Abstract

Denote by JJ the operator of coefficient stripping. We show that for any free convolution semigroup of measures νt\nu_t with finite variance, applying a single stripping produces semicircular evolution with non-zero initial condition, J[νt]=ρσtJ[\nu_t] = \rho \boxplus \sigma^{\boxplus t}, where σ\sigma is the semicircular distribution with mean β\beta and variance γ\gamma. For more general freely infinitely divisible distributions τ\tau, expressions of the form ρτt\rho \boxplus \tau^{\boxplus t} arise from stripping μt\mu_t, where the pairs (μt,νt)(\mu_t, \nu_t) form a semigroup under the operation of two-state free convolution. The converse to this statement holds in the algebraic setting. Numerous examples illustrating these constructions are computed. Additional results include the formula for generators of such semigroups.
