This talk is organized as follows: First we explain some basic concepts in non-commutative probability theory in the frame of operator algebras. In Section 2, we discuss related topics in von Neumann algebras. Sections 3 and 4 contain some…
These lecture notes provide an introduction to free probability theory, with a focus on tools and techniques useful in the study of large random matrices. Topics include freeness, free cumulants, additive and multiplicative free…
Quantum probability theory and complex analysis for children.
The aim of this paper is to show how free probability theory sheds light on spectral properties of deformed matricial models and provides a unified understanding of various asymptotic phenomena such as spectral measure description,…
This is an introductory article to the theory of multiple gaps.
This is a joint introduction to classical and free probability, which are twin sisters. We first review the foundations of classical probability, notably with the main limiting theorems (CLT, CCLT, PLT, CPLT), and with a look into examples…
The process of doing Science in condition of uncertainty is illustrated with a toy experiment in which the inferential and the forecasting aspects are both present. The fundamental aspects of probabilistic reasoning, also relevant in real…
We introduce a finite version of free probability and show the link between recent results using polynomial convolutions and the traditional theory of free probability. One tool for accomplishing this is a seemingly new transformation that…
This paper covers two topics: first an introduction to Algorithmic Complexity Theory: how it defines probability, some of its characteristic properties and past successful applications. Second, we apply it to problems in A.I. - where it…
In this article the idea of random variables over the set theoretic universe is investigated. We explore what it can mean for a random set to have a specific probability of belonging to an antecedently given class of sets.
These are lecture notes written at the University of Zurich during spring 2014 and spring 2015. The first part of the notes gives an introduction to probability theory. It explains the notion of random events and random variables,…
A popular scientific contribution should not contradict any established facts and ought to be understandable. I complied with both these requirements and am offering a sufficiently full introduction to probability theory. Furthermore, I…
These are notes from a three-lecture mini-course on free probability given at MSRI in the Fall of 2010 and repeated a year later at Harvard. The lectures were aimed at mathematicians and mathematical physicists working in combinatorics,…
This article is a very short introduction to pcf theory for topologists.
Free probability theory started in the 1980s has attracted much attention lately in signal processing and communications areas due to its applications in large size random matrices. However, it involves with massive mathematical concepts…
I give a survey about my work on combinatorial and probabilistic aspects of free probability theory. In particular, I present the combinatorial description of freeness in terms of free cumulants and I give some ideas of the main results of…
This text provides a practical introduction to randomness and data analysis, in particular in the context of computer simulations. At the beginning, the most basics concepts of probability are given, in particular discrete and continuous…
We introduce a finite version of free probability for rectangular matrices that amounts to operations on singular values of polynomials. We show that we can replicate the transforms from free probability, and that asymptotically there is…
This book introduces to the theory of probabilities from the beginning. Assuming that the reader possesses the normal mathematical level acquired at the end of the secondary school, we aim to equip him with a solid basis in probability…
I review the classical theory of likelihood based inference and consider how it is being extended and developed for use in complex models and sampling schemes.
