Abstract

We prove that we have an isomorphism of type Aaut(Cσ[G])Aaut(C[G])σA_{aut}(\mathbb C_\sigma[G])\simeq A_{aut}(\mathbb C[G])^\sigma, for any finite group GG, and any 2-cocycle σ\sigma on GG. In the particular case G=Zn2G=\mathbb Z_n^2, this leads to a Haar-measure preserving identification between the subalgebra of Ao(n)A_o(n) generated by the variables uij2u_{ij}^2, and the subalgebra of As(n2)A_s(n^2) generated by the variables Xij=a,b=1npia,jbX_{ij}=\sum_{a,b=1}^np_{ia,jb}. Since uiju_{ij} is "free hyperspherical" and XijX_{ij} is "free hypergeometric", we obtain in this way a new free probability formula, which at n=n=\infty corresponds to the well-known relation between the semicircle law, and the free Poisson law.
