A combinatorial formula is derived which expresses free cumulants in terms of classical comulants. As a corollary, we give a combinatorial interpretation of free cumulants of classical distributions, notably Gaussian and Poisson…
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…
We derive a formula for expressing free cumulants whose entries are products of random variables in terms of the lattice structure of non-crossing partitions. We show the usefulness of that result by giving direct and conceptually simple…
Free cumulants were introduced as the proper analog of classical cumulants in the theory of free probability. There is a mix of similarities and differences, when one considers the two families of cumulants. Whereas the combinatorics of…
Free cumulants were introduced by Speicher as a proper analog of classical cumulants in Voiculescu's theory of free probability. The relation between free moments and free cumulants is usually described in terms of Moebius calculus over the…
We use here a recent idea of studying functions of free random variables using Boolean cumulants. We develop idea of explicit calculations of conditional expectation using Boolean cumulants. We demonstrate Boolean cumulants approach allows…
This work investigates the combinatorial structures underlying cyclic conditional freeness and introduces cumulants that serve to linearize the cyclic conditional additive convolution. In the process, we establish the notion of "cyclic…
We study the problem of conditional expectations in free random variables and provide closed formulas for the conditional expectation of resolvents of arbitrary non-commutative polynomials in free random variables onto the subalgebra of an…
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…
This is an introduction to some of the most probabilistic aspects of free probability theory.
We revive the concept of Lambda-freeness of Mlotkowski, which describes a mixture of classical and free independence between algebras of random variables. In particular, we give a description of this in terms of cumulants; this will be…
In this paper, we develop the theory of bi-freeness in an amalgamated setting. We construct the operator-valued bi-free cumulant functions, and show that the vanishing of mixed cumulants is necessary and sufficient for bi-free independence.…
The classical theory of free analysis generalizes the noncommutative (nc) polynomials and rational functions, easily providing such results as an nc analogue of the Jacobian conjecture. However, the classical theory misses out on important…
Defant found that the relationship between a sequence of (univariate) classical cumulants and the corresponding sequence of (univariate) free cumulants can be described combinatorially in terms of families of binary plane trees called…
The functional equation defining the free cumulants in free probability is lifted successively to the noncommutative Fa\`a di Bruno algebra, and then to the group of a free operad over Schr\"oder trees. This leads to new combinatorial…
This paper deals with characterizing the freeness and asymptotic freeness of free multiple integrals with respect to a free Brownian motion or a free Poisson process. We obtain three characterizations of freeness, in terms of contraction…
We study how Boolean cumulants can be used in order to address operations with freely independent random variables, particularly in connection to the $*$-distribution of the product of two selfadjoint freely independent random variables,…
This paper describes the expected characteristic polynomial of the commutator of randomly rotated matrices, in the context of the finite free probability theory initiated by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava. The key technical features are…
A formula expressing free cumulants in terms of the Jacobi parameters of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials is derived. It combines Flajolet's theory of continued fractions and Lagrange inversion. For the converse we discuss…
We define an extension of the polynomial calculus on a W*-probability space by introducing an abstract algebra which contains polynomials. This extension allows us to define transition operators for additive and multiplicative free…
