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…

Given a function $F$ transforming a probability measure $\mu$ into another one $F(\mu)$, we study the existence and regularity of a transport representation of it. That is, we ask whether we can represent the image $F(\mu)$ of the input…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on the real line. In this paper we prove that there exists a decomposition $\mu = \mu_{0} \boxplus \mu_{1} \boxplus \... \boxplus \mu_{n} \boxplus \...$ such that $\mu_{0}$ is infinitely divisible and…

Let $\mu$ be a compactly supported probability measure on the positive half-line and let $\mu^{\boxtimes t}$ be the free multiplicative convolution semigroup. We show that the support of $\mu^{\boxtimes t}$ varies continuously as $t$…

We study the problem of estimating, in the sense of optimal transport metrics, a measure which is assumed supported on a manifold embedded in a Hilbert space. By establishing a precise connection between optimal transport metrics, optimal…
