We prove novel asymptotic freeness results in tracial ultraproduct von Neumann algebras. In particular, we show that whenever $M = M_1 \ast M_2$ is a tracial free product von Neumann algebra and $u_1 \in \mathscr U(M_1)$, $u_2 \in \mathscr…

The main result of this paper is a generalization of Popa's free independence result for subalgebras of ultraproduct ${\rm II_1}$ factors [Po95] to the framework of ultraproduct von Neumann algebras $(M^\omega, \varphi^\omega)$ where $(M,…

Let $M_n$ be a sequence of finite factors with $\dim(M_n)\rightarrow \infty$ and denote $\text{\bf M}=\Pi_\omega M_n$ their ultraproduct over a free ultrafilter $\omega$. We prove that if $\text{\bf Q}\subset \text{\bf M}$ is either an…

We investigate tensor products of random matrices, and show that independence of entries leads asymptotically to $\varepsilon$-free independence, a mixture of classical and free independence studied by M{\l}otkowski and by Speicher and…

We prove that independent rectangular random matrices, when embedded in a space of larger square matrices, are asymptotically free with amalgamation over a commutative finite dimensional subalgebra $D$ (under an hypothesis of unitary…

In this paper, we pursue our study of asymptotic properties of families of random matrices that have a tensor structure. In previous work, the first- and second-named authors provided conditions under which tensor products of unitary random…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a finite von Neumann algebra and $u_1,\dots,u_N$ be unitaries in $\mathcal{M}$. We show that $u_1,\dots,u_N$ freely generate $L(\mathbb{F}_N)$ if and only if $$\left\|\sum_{i=1}^N u_i \otimes (u_i^{\mathrm{op}})^* +…

We consider the limiting distribution of $U_NA_NU_N^*$ and $B_N$ (and more general expressions), where $A_N$ and $B_N$ are $N \times N$ matrices with entries in a unital C$^*$-algebra $\mathcal B$ which have limiting $\mathcal B$-valued…

In the absence of the Axiom of Choice, necessary and sufficient conditions for a locally compact Hausdorff space to have all non-empty second-countable compact Hausdorff spaces as remainders are given in $\mathbf{ZF}$. Among other…

Let $U_n$ be an $n \times n$ Haar unitary matrix. In this paper, the asymptotic normality and independence of $\Tr U_n, \Tr U_n^2, ..., \Tr U_n^k$ are shown by using elementary methods. More generally, it is shown that the renormalized…

We prove that if $A_1, A_2, \dots, A_n$ are tracial abelian von Neumann algebras for $2\leq n \leq \infty$ and $M = A_1 * \cdots * A_n$ is their free product, then any subalgebra $A \subset M$ of the form $A = \sum_{i=1}^n u_i A_i p_i…
