This article, which is substantially motivated by the previous joint work with J. McKay [8], establishes the analytic analogues of the relations we found free probability has with Witt vectors. Therefore, we first present a novel analytic…

The power sum $1^n + 2^n + \cdots + x^n$ has been of interest to mathematicians since classical times. Johann Faulhaber, Jacob Bernoulli, and others who followed expressed power sums as polynomials in $x$ of degree $n+1$ with rational…

In this paper, we study random matrix models which are obtained as a non-commutative polynomial in random matrix variables of two kinds: (a) a first kind which have a discrete spectrum in the limit, (b) a second kind which have a joint…

Using the combinatorics of non-crossing partitions, we construct a conditionally free analogue of the Voiculescu's S-transform. The result is applied to analytical description of conditionally free multiplicative convolution and…

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…

We study the addditon problem for strongly matricially free random variables which generalize free random variables. Using operators of Toeplitz type, we derive a linearization formula for the `matricial R-transform' related to the…

We study various statistical properties of real roots of three different classes of random polynomials which recently attracted a vivid interest in the context of probability theory and quantum chaos. We first focus on gap probabilities on…

Suppose $C \subset \mathbb{C}$ is compact. Let $q_k$ be a sequence of polynomials of degree $n_k \to \infty$, such that the locus of roots of all the polynomials is bounded, and the number of roots of $q_k$ in any closed set $L$ not meeting…

This paper seeks to further explore the distribution of the real roots of random polynomials with non-centered coefficients. We focus on polynomials where the typical values of the coefficients have power growth and count the average number…

We consider a class of real random polynomials, indexed by an integer d, of large degree n and focus on the number of real roots of such random polynomials. The probability that such polynomials have no real root in the interval [0,1]…

We generalize a theorem of Bellow and Calder\'on concerning the a.e. convergence of the convolution powers $\ds \mu^nf(x)=\sum_{k}\mu^n(k)f(T^k x)$ where $T$ is a measure preserving transformation of a probability space and $\mu$ is a…

Given a family $(q_k)_k$ of polynomials, we call an open set $U$ root-sparse if the number of zeros of $q_k$ is locally uniformly bounded on $U$. We study the interplay between the individual zeros of the polynomials $q_k$ and those of the…

For a general free L\'evy process, we prove the existence of its higher variation processes as limits in distribution, and identify the limits in terms of the L\'evy-It\^o representation of the original process. For a general free compound…

In this paper we give an analytic interpretation of free convolution of type B, introduced by Biane, Goodman and Nica, and provide a new formula for its computation. This formula allows us to show that free additive convolution of type B is…

We present an alternative approach to the theory of free Gibbs states with convex potentials. Instead of solving SDE's, we combine PDE techniques with a notion of asymptotic approximability by trace polynomials for a sequence of functions…

We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a probability measure $\mu$ on the real line to satisfy the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for convex functions. The condition is expressed in terms of the unique left-continuous and…

We discuss the role of additive polynomials and $p$-polynomials in the theory of valued fields of positive characteristic and in their model theory. We outline the basic properties of rings of additive polynomials and discuss properties of…

We give a criterion for the Kac conjecture asserting that the free term of the polynomial counting the absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field of given dimension coincides with the corresponding root…

We study the coefficients in the expansion of Jack polynomials in terms of power sums. We express them as polynomials in the free cumulants of the transition measure of an anisotropic Young diagram. We conjecture that such polynomials have…

We define the rectangular additive convolution of polynomials with nonnegative real roots as a generalization of the asymmetric additive convolution introduced by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava. We then prove a sliding bound on the largest…
