Any set of pure states living in an given Hilbert space possesses a natural and unique metric --the Haar measure-- on the group $U(N)$ of unitary matrices. However, there is no specific measure induced on the set of eigenvalues $\Delta$ of…

We deal with the general structure of (noncommutative) stochastic processes by using the standard techniques of Operator Algebras. Any stochastic process is associated to a state on a universal object, i.e. the free product $C^*$-algebra in…
