Let $\mu$ be a compactly supported probability measure on the real line. Bercovici-Voiculescu and Nica-Speicher proved the existence of a free convolution power $\mu^{\boxplus k}$ for any real $k \geq 1$. The purpose of this short note is…
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'…
Let $\mu$ denote a Borel probability measure and let $\{ \mu_{t} \}_{t\geq 1}$ denote the free additive convolution semigroup of Nica and Speicher. We show that the support of these measures varies continuously in the Hausdorff metric for…
We study periodic points and finitely supported invariant measures for continuous semigroup actions. Introducing suitable notions of periodicity in both topological and measure-theoretical contexts, we analyze the space of invariant Borel…
The density of a subgroupoid with respect to a free groupoid is defined as the asymptotic ratio of their growths. This notion can be interpreted as a generalisation of the index's inverse for groups or as the probability of an element…
We introduce and study a new type of convolution of probability measures called the orthogonal convolution, which is related to the monotone convolution. Using this convolution, we derive alternating decompositions of the free additive…
We deal with finitely additive measures defined on all subsets of natural numbers which extend the asymptotic density (density measures). We consider a class of density measures which are constructed from free ultrafilters on natural…
Denote by $J$ the operator of coefficient stripping. We show that for any free convolution semigroup of measures $\nu_t$ with finite variance, applying a single stripping produces semicircular evolution with non-zero initial condition,…
We show that a probability measure is not a nontrivial free additive convolution if it puts no mass in an interval whose endpoints are atoms. The analogous results for free multiplicative convolutions are proved as well. The proofs use…
We establish a general variational formula for the logarithmic potential of the free additive convolution of two compactly supported probability measure on $\R$. The formula is given in terms of the $R$-transform of the first measure, and…
We develop analytic tools for studying the free multiplicative convolution of any measure on the real line and any measure on the nonnegative real line. More precisely, we construct the subordination functions and the $S$-transform of an…
We consider a pair of probability measures $\mu,\nu$ on the unit circle such that $\Sigma_{\lambda}(\eta_{\nu}(z))=z/\eta_{\mu}(z)$. We prove that the same type of equation holds for any $t\geq 0$ when we replace $\nu$ by…
We study (weakly) continuous convolution semigroups of probability measures on a Lie group G or a homogeneous space G/K, where K is a compact subgroup. We show that such a convolution semigroup is the convolution product of its initial…
We study the class $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{ratio}}$ of those probability distributions for which the free $R$-transforms are rational functions. This class is closed under the additive free convolution, additive free powers and under the…
We give an analytical approach to the definition of additive and multiplicative free convolutions which is based on the theory of Nevanlinna and of Schur functions. We consider the set of probability distributions as a semigroup $\bold M$…
We study finitely additive extensions of the asymptotic density to all the subsets of natural numbers. Such measures are called density measures. We consider a class of density measures constructed from free ultrafilters on $\mathbb{N}$ and…
In this article we recover the distribution function (and possible density) of an arbitrary random variable that is subject to an additive measurement error. This problem is also known as deconvolution and has a long tradition in…
Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$ with compact support, and let $\mu \boxplus \nu$ denote their additive free convolution. We show that for $z \in \mathbb{R}$ greater than the sum of essential suprema of $\mu$ and…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure (or corresponding random variable) such that all moments $\mu_n$ exist. Knowledge of the moments is not sufficient to determine infinite divisibility of the measure; we show also that infinitely divisible,…
Belinschi and Nica introduced a composition semigroup on the set of probability measures. Using this semigroup, they introduced a free divisibility indicator, from which one can know whether a probability measure is freely infinitely…
