In this work we extend the recently introduced group-theoretical approach to moment-cumulant relations in non-commutative probability theory to the notion of conditionally free cumulants. This approach is based on a particular combinatorial…
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…
Free cumulants are multilinear functionals defined in terms of the moment functional with the use of the family of lattices of noncrossing partitions. In the univariate case, they can be identified with the coefficients of the Voiculescu…
A combinatorial approach to free probability theory has been developped by Roland Speicher, based on the notion of noncrossing cumulants, a free analogue of the classical theory of cumulants in probability theory. We review this theory, and…
Free cumulants were introduced as the proper analog of classical cumulants in the theory of free probability. There is a mix of similarities and differences, when one considers the two families of cumulants. Whereas the combinatorics of…
Relations between moments and cumulants play a central role in both classical and non-commutative probability theory. The latter allows for several distinct families of cumulants corresponding to different types of independences: free,…
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…
The functional equation defining the free cumulants in free probability is lifted successively to the noncommutative Fa\`a di Bruno algebra, and then to the group of a free operad over Schr\"oder trees. This leads to new combinatorial…
We establish the functional relations between generating series of higher-order free cumulants and moments in higher-order free probability, solving an open problem posed fifteen years ago by Collins, Mingo, \'Sniady and Speicher. We…
Higher order free moments and cumulants, introduced by Collins, Mingo, \'Sniady and Speicher in 2006, describe the fluctuations of unitarily invariant random matrices in the limit of infinite size. The functional relations between their…
We establish connections between the lattices of non-crossing partitions of type B introduced by V. Reiner, and the framework of the free probability theory of D. Voiculescu. Lattices of non-crossing partitions (of type A, up to now) have…
The theory of cumulants is revisited in the "Rota way", that is, by following a combinatorial Hopf algebra approach. Monotone, free, and boolean cumulants are considered as infinitesimal characters over a particular combinatorial Hopf…
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…
I give a survey about my work on combinatorial and probabilistic aspects of free probability theory. In particular, I present the combinatorial description of freeness in terms of free cumulants and I give some ideas of the main results of…
Boolean, free and monotone cumulants as well as relations among them, have proven to be important in the study of non-commutative probability theory. Quite notably, Boolean cumulants were successfully used to study free infinite…
We define spreadability systems as a generalization of exchangeability systems in order to unify various notions of independence and cumulants known in noncommutative probability. In particular, our theory covers monotone independence and…
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…
It is well known that free independence is equivalent to the vanishing of mixed free cumulants. The purpose of this short note is to build free products of $*$-probability spaces using this as the definition of freeness and relying on free…
In this paper, we investigate a continuous family of notions of independence which interpolates between the classical and free ones for non-commutative random variables. These notions are related to the liberation process introduced by D.…
We consider the group $(\mathcal{G},*)$ of unitized multiplicative functions in the incidence algebra of non-crossing partitions, where ``$*$'' denotes the convolution operation. We introduce a larger group $(\widetilde{\mathcal{G}},*)$ of…
