Abstract

We show that the spectral measure of any non-commutative polynomial of a non-commutative nn-tuple cannot have atoms if the free entropy dimension of that nn-tuple is nn (see also work of Mai, Speicher, and Weber). Under stronger assumptions on the nn-tuple, we prove that the spectral measure is not singular, and measures of intervals surrounding any point may not decay slower than polynomially as a function of the interval's length.

Comments

The second version (joint with I. Charlesworth) considerably improves our previous results. The main new result is non-singularity of the spectral measure of a non-commutative polynomial of n variables under assumptions of existence of Voiculescu's dual system
