Recently, many classes of infinitely divisible distributions on R^d have been characterized in several ways. Among others, the first way is to use Levy measures, the second one is to use transformations of Levy measures, and the third one…
We develop the complex-analytic viewpoint on the tree convolutions studied by the second author and Weihua Liu in "An operad of non-commutative independences defined by trees" (Dissertationes Mathematicae, 2020, doi:10.4064/dm797-6-2020),…
We introduce a modification of Voiculescu's free entropy which coincides with the liminf variant of Voiculescu's free entropy on extremal states, but is a concave upper semi-continuous function on the trace state space. We also extend the…
Belinschi and Nica introduced a composition semigroup on the set of probability measures. Using this semigroup, they introduced a free divisibility indicator, from which one can know whether a probability measure is freely infinitely…
In this paper we determine the distributional behavior of sums of free (in the sense of Voiculescu) identically distributed, infinitesimal random variables. The theory is shown to parallel the classical theory of independent random…
We study infinitely divisible (ID) distributions on the nonnegative half-line $\mathbb{R}_+$. The L\'{e}vy-Khintchine representation of such distributions is well-known. Our primary contribution is to cast the probabilistic objects and the…
We completely determine the free infinite divisibility for the Boolean stable law which is parametrized by a stability index $\alpha$ and an asymmetry coefficient $\rho$. We prove that the Boolean stable law is freely infinitely divisible…
We construct an absolutely normal number whose continued fraction expansion is normal in the sense that it contains all finite patterns of partial quotients with the expected asymptotic frequency as given by the Gauss-Kuzmin measure. The…
We introduce a class of probability measures whose densities near infinity are mixtures of Pareto distributions. This class can be characterized by the Fourier transform which has a power series expansion including real powers, not only…
D. Voiculescu [2] proved that a standard family of independent random unitary k by k matrices and a constant k by k unitary matrix is asymtotically free as k goes to infinity. This result was a key ingredient in Voiculescu's proof [3] that…
We show that if an essentially arbitrary sequence supported on an interval containing $x$ integers, is convolved with a tiny Siegel-Walfisz-type sequence supported on an interval containing $\exp((\log x)^{\varepsilon})$ integers then the…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for symmetric infinitely divisible distribution to have Gaussian component. The result can be applied to approximation the distribution of finite sums of random variables. Particularly, it shows…
We revisit Marcus' finite free analogue of Voiculescu $R$-transform from an analytic viewpoint. By relating the finite free Fourier transform to the Laplace transform, we study the finite $R$-transform through logarithmic potentials and…
As follows from the Schwartz Impossibility Theorem, multiplication of two distributions is in general impossible. Nevertheless, often one needs to multiply a distribution by a discontinuous function, not by an arbitrary distribution. In the…
We establish some asymptotic expansions for infinite weighted convolution of distributions having regular varying tails. Various applications to statistics and probability are developed.
We solve two longstanding major problems in Free Probability. This is achieved by generalising the theory to one with values in arbitrary commutative algebras. We prove the existence of the multi-variable $S$-transform, and show that it is…
We prove a technical result, showing that the existence of a closable unbounded dual system in the sense of Voiculescu is equivalent to the finiteness of free Fisher information. This approach allows one to give a purely operator-algebraic…
Tractable generalizations of the Gaussian distribution play an important role for the analysis of high-dimensional data. One very general super-class of Normal distributions is the class of $\nu$-spherical distributions whose random…
We prove that many of beta, beta prime, gamma, inverse gamma, Student t- and ultraspherical distributions are freely infinitely divisible, but some of them are not. The latter negative result follows from a local property of probability…
Two transformations $\mathcal{A}_1$ and $\mathcal{A}_2$ of L\'{e}vy measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ based on the arcsine density are studied and their relation to general Upsilon transformations is considered. The domains of definition of…
