There is given a characterization of the geometric distribution by the independence of linear forms with random coefficients. The result is a discrete analog of the corresponding theorem on exponential distribution. The property of linear…
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 investigate the implications of free probability for random matrices. From rules for calculating all possible joint moments of two free random matrices, we develop a notion of partial freeness which is quantified by the breakdown of…
We extend the relation between random matrices and free probability theory from the level of expectations to the level of all correlation functions (which are classical cumulants of traces of products of the matrices). We introduce the…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the free additive infinite divisibility of some free multiplicative convolutions with the Wigner, the arcsine, the free Poisson and other distributions, including explicit examples.
We study subordination of free convolutions. We prove that for free random variables $X,Y$ and a Borel function $f$ the conditional expectation $E_\varphi\left[ (z-X-f(X)Yf^*(X))^{-1}| X\right]$, is a resolvent again. This result allows…
We generalize the following univariate characterization of the Kummer and Gamma distributions to the cone of symmetric positive definite matrices: let $X$ and $Y$ be independent, non-degenerate random variables valued in $(0, \infty)$, then…
Cumulants linearize convolution of measures. We use a formula of Good to define noncommutative cumulants in a very general setting.It turns out that the essential property needed is exchangeability of random variables. Roughly speaking the…
Free probability and random matrix theory has shown to be a fruitful combination in many fields of research, such as digital communications, nuclear physics and mathematical finance. The link between free probability and eigenvalue…
Poisson thinning is an elementary result in probability, which is of great importance in the theory of Poisson point processes. In this article, we record a couple of characterization results on Poisson thinning. We also consider several…
We investigate variance bounds under symmetry constraints in classical, free, and Boolean probability, focusing on Bernoulli distributions and their noncommutative analogues, projections with trace \(p\). We show that symmetrizers under…
In the present paper we define the notion of generalized cumulants which gives a universal framework for commutative, free, Boolean, and especially, monotone probability theories. The uniqueness of generalized cumulants holds for each…
Let M be a B-probability space. Assume that B itself is a D-probability space; then M can be viewed as a D-probability space as well. Let X be in M. We characterize freeness of X from B with amalgamation over D in terms of a certain…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the free cumulants (in the sense of free probability theory of Voiculescu) of Jucys--Murphy elements--or equivalently--of the transition measure associated with a Young diagram. We express these cumulants…
We derive a formula for the moments and the free cumulants of the multiplication of $k$ free random variables in terms of $k$-equal and $k$-divisible non-crossing partitions. This leads to a new simple proof for the bounds of the right-edge…
Let $T_1,...,T_n$ denote free random variables. For two linear forms $L_1=\sum_{j=1}^n a_jT_j$ and $L_2=\sum_{j=1}^n b_jT_j$ with real coefficients $a_j$ and $b_j$ we shall describe all distributions of $T_1,...,T_n$ such that $L_1$ and…
We address the question of the asymptotic description of random tensors that are local-unitary invariant, that is, invariant by conjugation by tensor products of independent unitary matrices. We consider both the mixed case of a tensor with…
We characterize semicircular distribution by the freeness of linear and quadratic forms in noncommutative random variables from a tracial $W^*$-probability space with relaxed moment conditions.
Free probability provides a framework for describing correlations between non-commuting observables in complex quantum systems whose Hilbert-space states follow maximum-entropy distributions. We examine the robustness of this framework…
A combinatorial approach to free probability theory has been developped by Roland Speicher, based on the notion of noncrossing cumulants, a free analogue of the classical theory of cumulants in probability theory. We review this theory, and…
