The extension $k \mapsto \mu^{\boxplus k}$ of the concept of a free convolution power to the case of non-integer $k \geq 1$ was introduced by Bercovici-Voiculescu and Nica-Speicher, and related to the minor process in random matrix theory.…

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 extend the free convolution of Brown measures of $R$-diagonal elements introduced by K\"{o}sters and Tikhomirov [Probab. Math. Statist. 38 (2018), no. 2, 359--384] to fractional powers. We then show how this fractional free convolution…
