Abstract

We study freely infinitely divisible RR-diagonal elements in the unbounded setting and Brown measures for free additive perturbations by such elements. This class includes circular elements, circular Cauchy elements, and other previously studied RR-diagonal models. We construct examples and prove stability under several algebraic operations, including homogeneous noncommutative polynomials in bounded, freely independent elements from this class. Using results for general RR-diagonal perturbations, together with several analytic estimates specific to freely infinitely divisible RR-diagonal elements, we prove that, in the bounded case, the support of the Brown measure coincides with the spectrum, and we obtain a criterion for property (H) in this non-normal setting. Finally, we study the free convolution semigroup associated with the symmetrized law of the modulus and derive a Hamilton--Jacobi equation for the regularized logarithmic potential.
