Combinatorics of free probability theory

چکیده
The following manuscript was written for my lectures at the special semester ’Free probability theory and operator spaces’, IHP, Paris, 1999. A complementary series of lectures was given by A. Nica. It is planned to combine both manuscripts into a book A. Nica and R. Speicher: Lectures on the Combinatorics of Free Probability, which will be published by Cambridge University Press

The Order Steps of an Analytic Combinatorics
Analytic combinatorics aims to enable precise quantitative predictions of the properties of large combinatorial structures. This theory has emerged over recent decades as essential both for the analysis of algorithms and for the study of scientific models in many disciplines, including probability theory, statistical physics, computational biology and information theory. With a caref...
متن کاملFunctional Inequalities in Analysis and Probability Theory
My research is in Functional Analysis (AMS classification 46), Operator Theory (47), Global Analysis (58), Probability Theory (60), and Combinatorics (05). Most of what I do relates to functional inequalities, often arising in mathematical physics, in many different contexts. Much of my recent work is in and around free probability theory, an important and relatively new field at the confluence...
متن کاملFactors of IID on Trees
Classical ergodic theory for integer-group actions uses entropy as a complete invariant for isomorphism of IID (independent, identically distributed) processes (a.k.a. product measures). This theory holds for amenable groups as well. Despite recent spectacular progress of Bowen, the situation for non-amenable groups, including free groups, is still largely mysterious. We present some illustrati...
متن کاملProperties Of Descartes' Construction Of Triangle-Free Graphs With High Chromatic Number
We present some nice properties of the classical construction of triangle-free graphs with high chromatic number given by Blanche Descartes and its modifications. In particular, we construct colour-critical graphs and hypergraphs of high girth with moderate average degree.

Algebraic Combinatorics K. Ebrahimi-Fard, ICMAT-CSIC, Madrid, Spain F. Patras, CNRS, Nice, France (3+3 hrs) – The seminal works of G.-C. Rota and his school, have transformed algebraic combinatorics into an important branch of mathematics with connections to a wide variety of subjects, among others, numerical methods for (partial/stochastic) differential equations; control theory; quantum field...
