We characterize semicircular distribution by the freeness of linear and quadratic forms in noncommutative random variables from a tracial $W^*$-probability space with relaxed moment conditions.
We study embeddings of tracial $\mathrm{W}^*$-algebras into a ultraproduct of matrix algebras through an amalgamation of free probabilistic and model-theoretic techniques. Jung implicitly and Hayes explicitly defined $1$-bounded entropy…
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…
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…
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…
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…
We introduce and study a class of generalized Meixner-type free gamma distributions $\mu_{t,\theta,\lambda}$ ($t,\theta>0$ and $\lambda\ge 1$), which includes both the free gamma distributions introduced by Anshelevich and certain scaled…
We establish a free analogue of Obata's rigidity theorem. More precisely, Cheng and Zhou (2017) proved that on a weighted Riemannian manifold, the sharp spectral gap (Poincar\'e constant) is achieved only when the space splits isometrically…
In the process of developing the theory of free probability and free entropy, Voiculescu introduced in 1991 a random matrix model for a free semicircular system. Since then, random matrices have played a key role in von Neumann algebra…
Free entropy is the analogue of entropy in free probability theory. The paper is a survey of free entropy, its applications to von Neumann algebras, connections to random matrix theory and a discussion of open problems.
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…
For the free probability analogue of Euclidean space endowed with the Gaussian measure we apply the approach of Arnold to derive Euler equations for a Lie algebra of non-commutative vector fields which preserve a certain trace. We extend…
Free probability provides a framework for describing correlations between non-commuting observables in complex quantum systems whose Hilbert-space states follow maximum-entropy distributions. We examine the robustness of this framework…
Using free probability constructions involving Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras we show that the topological entropy of the free product of two automorphisms is equal to the maximum of the individual entropies. As applications we show that general…
We establish a link between free probability theory and Witt vectors, via the theory of formal groups. We derive an exponential isomorphism which expresses Voiculescu's free multiplicative convolution $\boxtimes$ as a function of the free…
Given a suitably nested family $Z = \langle Z(m,k,\gamma) \rangle_{m,k \in \mathbb N, \gamma >0}$ of Borel subsets of matrices, and associated Borel measures and rate function, $\mu$, an entropy, $\chi^{\mu}(Z)$, is introduced which…
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…
We study entropy and optimal transport theory in the free probabilistic setting motivated by the large-$n$ theory of random tuples of matrices. We define a new version of free entropy $\chi_{\operatorname{chron}}^{\mathcal{U}}$, which is…
Certain classes of automorphisms of recued amalgamated free products of C*-algebras are shown to have Brown-Voiculescu topological entropy zero. Also, for automorphisms of exact C*-algebras, the Connes-Narnhofer-Thirring entropy is shown to…
We give an analytical approach to the definition of additive and multiplicative free convolutions which is based on the theory of Nevanlinna and of Schur functions. We consider the set of probability distributions as a semigroup $\bold M$…
