We study the freely infinitely divisible distributions that appear as the laws of free subordinators. This is the free analog of classically infinitely divisible distributions supported on [0,\infty), called the free regular measures. We…

In this thesis we study convolutions that arise from noncommutative probability theory. We prove several regularity results for free convolutions, and for measures in partially defined one-parameter free convolution semigroups. We discuss…

For a finite positive Borel measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R$ its exponential type, $T_\mu$, is defined as the infimum of $a>0$ such that finite linear combinations of complex exponentials with frequencies between 0 and $a$ are dense in…

The eigenvalue correlations of random matrices from the Jacobi Unitary Ensemble have a known asymptotic behavior as their size tends to infinity. In the bulk of the spectrum the behavior is described in terms of the sine kernel, and at the…

We consider the action of Mandelbrot multiplicative cascades on probability measures supported on a symbolic space. For general probability measures, we obtain almost a sharp criterion of non-degeneracy of the limiting measure; it relies on…

A measure $\mu$ on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ belongs to Steklov class $\mathcal{S}$ if its density $w$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{T}$ is strictly positive: $\inf_{\mathbb{T}} w > 0$. Let $\mu$, $\mu_{-1}$ be…

We obtain a complete classification of a large class of non almost periodic free Araki-Woods factors $\Gamma(\mu,m)"$ up to isomorphism. We do this by showing that free Araki-Woods factors $\Gamma(\mu, m)"$ arising from finite symmetric…

We consider an ergodic invariant measure $\mu$ for a smooth action of $Z^k$, $k \ge 2$, on a $(k+1)$-dimensional manifold or for a locally free smooth action of $R^k$, $k \ge 2$ on a $(2k+1)$-dimensional manifold. We prove that if $\mu$ is…

Let $\{X_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of independent copies of a random vector $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We revisit the question to determine the asymptotic shape of the random polytope $K_N={\rm conv}\{X_1,\ldots ,X_N\}$ where $N>n$. We…

Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure with compact support. We consider exponential type orthonormal bases, Riesz bases and frames in $L^2(\mu)$. We show that if $L^2(\mu)$ admits an exponential frame, then $\mu$ must be of pure type. We…

Let $Q$ be a fundamental domain of some full-rank lattice in ${\Bbb R}^d$ and let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two positive Borel measures on ${\Bbb R}^d$ such that the convolution $\mu\ast\nu$ is a multiple of $\chi_Q$. We consider the problem as to…

R. Kaufman and M. Tsujii proved that the Fourier transform of self-similar measures has a power decay outside of a sparse set of frequencies. We present a version of this result for homogeneous self-similar measures, with quantitative…

We investigate in more detail the two-state free convolution semigroups of pairs of measures whose Jacobi parameters are linear in the convolution parameter $t$. These semigroups were constructed in arXiv:1001.1540, where we also showed…

In this note we construct a measure $\mu$ on a $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{M}$ of subsets of the positive real axis, $\mathbb{R}_{>0}$, with the following multiplicative property: \[ \mu \left( \bigcup_j E_j \right) = \prod_j \mu(E_j) \] for…

Let $G/K$ be an irreducible symmetric space where $G$ is a non-compact, connected Lie group and $K$ is a compact, connected subgroup. We use decay properties of the spherical functions to show that the convolution product of any $r=r(G/K)$…

For all the convolution algebras $L^1[0,1),\ L^1_{\text{loc}}$ and $A(\omega)=\bigcap_n L^1(\omega_n)$, the derivations are of the form $D_{\mu} f=Xf*\mu$ for suitable measures $\mu$, where $(Xf)(t)=tf(t)$. We describe the (weakly) compact…

We aim at studying the asymptotic properties of typical positive braids, respectively positive dual braids. Denoting by $\mu_k$ the uniform distribution on positive (dual) braids of length $k$, we prove that the sequence $(\mu_k)_k$…

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two probability measures on $\R^d$, where $\mu(\d x)= \e^{-V(x)}\d x$ for some $V\in C^1(\R^d)$. Explicit sufficient conditions on $V$ and $\nu$ are presented such that $\mu*\nu$ satisfies the log-Sobolev, Poincar\'e…

The asymptotic study of tuples of random non-increasing integers is crucial for probabilistic models coming from asymptotic representation theory and statistical physics. We study the global behavior of such tuples, introducing a new family…

In this paper we study the behaviour of convolution powers of probability measures $\mu$ on $\Z$, such that $(\mu(n))_{n\in \N}$ is completely monotone or such that $\nu$ is centered with a second moment. In particular we exhibit many new…
