Free probability theory was created by Dan Voiculescu around 1985, motivated by his efforts to understand special classes of von Neumann algebras. His discovery in 1991 that also random matrices satisfy asymptotically the freeness relation…
Random matrices have their roots in multivariate analysis in statistics, and since Wigner's pioneering work in 1955, they have been a very important tool in mathematical physics. In functional analysis, random matrices and random structures…
In their paper, "A new application of random matrices: Ext(C*_red(F_2)) is not a group", Haagerup and Thorbjornsen prove an extension of Voiculescu's random matrix model for independent complex self-adjoint Gaussian random matrices. We…
In 1982 Pimsner and Voiculescu computed the K_0- and K_1-groups of the reduced group C*-algebra C*_red(F_k) of the free group F_k on k generators and settled thereby a long standing conjecture: C*_red(F_k) has no projections except for the…
Voiculescu's random matrix model for freeness is extended to the non-Gaussian case and also the case of constant block diagonal matrices. Thus we are able to investigate free products of free group factors with matrix algebras and with the…
Voiculescu's freeness emerges in computing the asymptotic of spectra of polynomials on $N\times N$ random matrices with eigenspaces in generic positions: they are randomly rotated with a uniform unitary random matrix $U_N$. In this article…
The concept of freeness was introduced by Voiculescu in the context of operator algebras. Later it was observed that it is also relevant for large random matrices. We will show how the combination of various free probability results with a…
We show that the operatorial framework developed by Voiculescu for free random variables can be extended to arrays of random variables whose multiplication imitates matricial multiplication. The associated notion of independence, called…
The notion of a $*$-law or $*$-distribution in free probability is also known as the quantifier-free type in Farah, Hart, and Sherman's model theoretic framework for tracial von Neumann algebras. However, the full type can also be…
Voiculescu's notion of asymptotic free independence applies to a wide range of random matrices, including those that are independent and unitarily invariant. In this work, we generalize this notion by considering random matrices with a…
Applying the concept of matricial freeness which generalizes freeness in free probability, we have recently studied asymptotic joint distributions of symmetric blocks of Gaussian random matrices (Gaussian Symmetric Block Ensemble). This…
In a seminal 2005 paper, Haagerup and Thorbj{\o}rnsen discovered that the norm of any noncommutative polynomial of independent complex Gaussian random matrices converges to that of a limiting family of operators that arises from…
We study selflessness in the general setting of reduced free products of $C^*$-algebras. Towards this end, we develop a suitable theory of rapid decay for filtrations in arbitrary $C^*$-probability spaces. We provide several natural…
This is a complement to our previous paper on the arxiv on quantum expanders and geometry of operator spaces. We show that there is a non-exact $C^*$-algebra that is 1-subexponential, and we give several other complements to the results of…
Voiculescu's notion of asymptotic free independence is known for a large class of random matrices including independent unitary invariant matrices. This notion is extended for independent random matrices invariant in law by conjugation by…
It has been shown by Voiculescu that important classes of square independent random matrices are asymptotically free, where freeness is a noncommutative analog of classical independence. Recently, we introduced the concept of matricial…
Let $a_{1},...,a_{n}, b_{1},...,b_{n}$ be random variables in some (non-commutative) probability space, such that $\{a_{1}, ..., a_{n} \}$ is free from $\{b_{1}, ..., b_{n} \}$. We show how the joint distribution of the $n$-tuple $(a_{1}…
Let M be a tracial von Neumann algebra and A be a weakly dense unital C*-subalgebra of M. We say that a set X is a W*-generating set for M if the von Neumann algebra generated by X is M and that X is a C*-generating set for A if the unital…
In this article, we introduce the notion of free subexponentiality, which extends the notion of subexponentiality in the classical probability setup to the noncommutative probability spaces under freeness. We show that distributions with…
In this paper, we study random matrix models which are obtained as a non-commutative polynomial in random matrix variables of two kinds: (a) a first kind which have a discrete spectrum in the limit, (b) a second kind which have a joint…
