We introduce and study the notion of k-divisible elements in a non-commutative probability space. A k-divisible element is a (non-commutative) random variable whose n-th moment vanishes whenever n is not a multiple of k. First, we consider…
We derive a formula for expressing free cumulants whose entries are products of random variables in terms of the lattice structure of non-crossing partitions. We show the usefulness of that result by giving direct and conceptually simple…
We introduce the notion of a conditionally free product and conditionally free convolution. We describe this convolution both from a combinatorial point of view, by showing its connection with the lattice of non-crossing partitions, and…
A combinatorial formula is derived which expresses free cumulants in terms of classical comulants. As a corollary, we give a combinatorial interpretation of free cumulants of classical distributions, notably Gaussian and Poisson…
We provide a refined combinatorial identity for the set of partitions of $\{1,\dots, n\}$, which plays an important role in investigating several limit theorems related to finite free convolutions. Firstly, we present the finite free…
Let $\boxplus$, $\boxtimes$ and $\uplus$ be the free additive, free multiplicative, and boolean additive convolutions, respectively. For a probability measure $\mu$ on $[0,\infty)$ with finite second moment, we find the scaling limit of…
We show estimates for the distribution of $k$-free numbers in short intervals and arithmetic progressions. We argue that, at least in certain ranges, these estimates agree with a conjecture by H. L. Montgomery.
We introduce and study the model of simply generated non-crossing partitions, which are, roughly speaking, chosen at random according to a sequence of weights. This framework encompasses the particular case of uniform non-crossing…
Let $\mu$ be a compactly supported probability measure on the positive half-line and let $\mu^{\boxtimes t}$ be the free multiplicative convolution semigroup. We show that the support of $\mu^{\boxtimes t}$ varies continuously as $t$…
It has been shown recently that the limit moments of $W(n)=B(n)B^{*}(n)$, where B(n) is a product of $p$ independent rectangular random matrices, are certain homogenous polynomials in the asymptotic dimensions of these matrices. Using the…
We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the $k$-free integers such that at primes $f(p)=\pm 1$ and such that the partial sums of $f$ up to $x$ are $o(x^{1/k})$. Further, if we assume the Generalized Riemann…
We establish unconditional $\Omega$-results for all weighted even moments of primes in arithmetic progressions. We also study the moments of these moments and establish lower bounds under GRH. Finally, under GRH and LI we prove an…
Given two polynomials $p(x), q(x)$ of degree $d$, we give a combinatorial formula for the finite free cumulants of $p(x)\boxtimes_d q(x)$. We show that this formula admits a topological expansion in terms of non-crossing multi-annular…
The \Delta-convolution of real probability measures, introduced by Bo\.zejko, generalizes both free and boolean convolutions. It is linearized by the \Delta-cumulants, and Yoshida gave a combinatorial formula for moments in terms of…
We extend to arbitrary measures results of Bao, Erd\"os, Schnelli, Moreillon, and Ji on the connectedness of the supports of additive convolutions of measures on \mathbb{R} and of free multiplicative convolutions of measures on…
We study the linear span of commutators of free random variables and show that these are the only quadratic forms which satisfy the following equivalent properties: * preservation free infinite divisibility * free and strong cancellation of…
The material gives a new combinatorial proof of the multiplicative property of the S-transform. In particular, several properties of the coefficients of its inverse are connected to non-crossing linked partitions and planar trees.
We prove a free analogue of Brillinger's formula (sometimes called "law of total cumulance") which expresses classical cumulants in terms of conditioned cumulants. As expected, the formula is obtained by replacing the lattice of set…
We investigate the implications of free probability for random matrices. From rules for calculating all possible joint moments of two free random matrices, we develop a notion of partial freeness which is quantified by the breakdown of…
We consider the free additive convolution $\mu_\alpha\boxplus\mu_\beta$ of two probability measures $\mu_\alpha$ and $\mu_\beta$, supported on respectively $n_\alpha$ and $n_\beta$ disjoint bounded intervals on the real line, and derive a…
