Voiculescu's freeness emerges in computing the asymptotic of spectra of polynomials on $N\times N$ random matrices with eigenspaces in generic positions: they are randomly rotated with a uniform unitary random matrix $U_N$. In this article…

The classical theory of free analysis generalizes the noncommutative (nc) polynomials and rational functions, easily providing such results as an nc analogue of the Jacobian conjecture. However, the classical theory misses out on important…

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…

For each of the four particle processes given by Dieker and Warren [arXiv:0707.1843], we show the $n$-step transition kernels are given by the (dual) (weak) refined symmetric Grothendieck functions up to a simple overall factor. We do so by…

Debbah and Ryan have recently proved a result about the limit empirical singular distribution of the sum of two rectangular random matrices whose dimensions tend to infinity. In this paper, we reformulate it in terms of the rectangular free…

Free entropy is the analogue of entropy in free probability theory. The paper is a survey of free entropy, its applications to von Neumann algebras, connections to random matrix theory and a discussion of open problems.

Let $f(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial of degree $d\ge 1$. Let $k\ge2$ be an integer. The number of integers $n$ such that $f(n)$ is $k$-free is widely studied in the literature. In principle, one expects that $f(n)$ is…

One of the main applications of free probability is to show that for appropriately chosen independent copies of $d$ random matrix models, any noncommutative polynomial in these $d$ variables has a spectral distribution that converges…

We construct entropy increasing monotone factors in the context of a Bernoulli shift over the free group of rank at least two.

The notion of a $*$-law or $*$-distribution in free probability is also known as the quantifier-free type in Farah, Hart, and Sherman's model theoretic framework for tracial von Neumann algebras. However, the full type can also be…

Given two nondegenerate Borel probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}_{+}=[0,\infty)$, we prove that their free multiplicative convolution $\mu\boxtimes\nu$ has zero singular continuous part and its absolutely continuous part…

We develop a numerical approach for computing the additive, multiplicative and compressive convolution operations from free probability theory. We utilize the regularity properties of free convolution to identify (pairs of) `admissible'…

Point sets of number-theoretic origin, such as the visible lattice points or the $k$-th power free integers, have interesting geometric and spectral properties and give rise to topological dynamical systems that belong to a large class of…

Let D be the space of non-commutative distributions of k-tuples of selfadjoints in a C*-probability space (for a fixed k). We introduce a semigroup of transformations B_t of D, such that every distribution in D evolves under the B_t towards…

We consider two extensions of free probability that have been studied in the research literature, and are based on the notions of c-freeness and respectively of infinitesimal freeness for noncommutative random variables. In a 2012 paper,…

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…

Let k be a positive integer and let D_k denote the space of joint distributions for k-tuples of selfadjoint elements in C*-probability space. The paper studies the concept of "subordination distribution of \mu \boxplus \nu with respect to…

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…

Voiculescu's notion of asymptotic free independence is known for a large class of random matrices including independent unitary invariant matrices. This notion is extended for independent random matrices invariant in law by conjugation by…

This talk is organized as follows: First we explain some basic concepts in non-commutative probability theory in the frame of operator algebras. In Section 2, we discuss related topics in von Neumann algebras. Sections 3 and 4 contain some…
