We find the microstates free entropy dimension of a large class of $L^{\infty}[0,1]$-circular operators, in the presence of a generator of the diagonal subalgebra.
Dykema and Haagerup introduced the class of DT-operators and also showed that every DT-operator generate the von Neumann algebra generated by the free group on two generators. In this paper we prove that Voiculescu's non-microstates free…
We define an analog of Voiculescu's free entropy for n-tuples of unitaries (u_{1},...,u_{n}) in a tracial von Neumann algebra M, normalizing a unital diffuse abelian subalgebra B in M. Using this quantity, we define the free dimension…
We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some `exotic' Popa algebra generators…
The DT-operators are introduced, one for every pair (\mu,c) consisting of a compactly supported Borel probability measure \mu on the complex plane and a constant c>0. These are operators on Hilbert space that are defined as limits in…
Motivated by Voiculescu's liberation theory, we introduce the orbital free entropy $\chi_orb$ for non-commutative self-adjoint random variables (also for "hyperfinite random multi-variables"). Besides its basic properties the relation of…
Using Voiculescu's notion of a matricial microstate we introduce fractal dimensions and entropies for finite sets of selfadjoint operators in a tracial von Neumann algebra. We show that they possess properties similar to their classical…
We study Voiculescu's microstate free entropy for a single non-selfadjoint random variable. The main result is that certain additional constraints on eigenvalues of microstates do not change the free entropy. Our tool is the method of…
Suppose $N \subset M$ is an inclusion of $II_1$-factors of finite index. If $N$ can be generated by a finite set of elements, then there exist finite generating sets $X$ for $N$ and $Y$ for $M$ such that $\delta_0(X) \geq \delta_0(Y)$,…
Comparison of the thermodynamic entropy with Boltzmann's principle shows that under conditions of constant volume the total number of arrangements in simple thermodynamic systems with temperature-independent heat capacities is TC/k. A…
Suppose $N$ is a diffuse, property T von Neumann algebra and X is an arbitrary finite generating set of selfadjoint elements for N. By using rigidity/deformation arguments applied to representations of N in full matrix algebras, we deduce…
In the paper, we introduce a new concept of topological orbit dimension of $n$-tuples of elements in a unital C$^*$ algebra. Using this concept, we conclude that the Voiculescu's topological free entropy dimension of any family of…
The notion of topological free entropy dimension of $n-$tuples of elements in a unital C$^*$ algebra was introduced by Voiculescu. In the paper, we compute topological free entropy dimension of one self-adjoint element and topological orbit…
The notion of metric entropy dimension is introduced to measure the complexity of entropy zero dynamical systems. For measure preserving systems, we define entropy dimension via the dimension of entropy generating sequences. This…
We define and study a relative free entropy quantity, analogous in its properties to Voiculescu's relative free entropy Chi^*(...:B). Our definition uses matricial microstates, unlike his definition, which involves non-commutative Hilbert…
In this paper, we extend the notion of microstate free entropy to the bi-free setting. In particular, using the bi-free analogue of random matrices, microstate bi-free entropy is defined. Properties essential to an entropy theory are…
In this paper we introduce the concept of the upper free orbit-dimension of a finite von Neumann algebra, and we derive some of its basic properties. Using this concept, we are able to improve most of the applications of free entropy to…
To illustrate Boltzmann's construction of an entropy function that is defined for a microstate of a macroscopic system, we present here the simple example of the free expansion of a one dimensional gas of non-interacting point particles.…
In this paper, we establish dimension-free estimates for the discrete spherical maximal operator on semi-commutative $L_{p}$ space for $2\leq p\leq\infty$.
We seek an entropy estimator for discrete distributions with fully empirical accuracy bounds. As stated, this goal is infeasible without some prior assumptions on the distribution. We discover that a certain information moment assumption…
