The Lebesgue decomposition of the free additive convolution of two probability distributions

چکیده
We prove that the free additive convolution of two Borel probability measures supported on the real line can have a component that is singular continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on R only if one of the two measures is a point mass. The density of the absolutely continuous part with respect to the Lebesgue measure is shown to be analytic wherever positive and finite. The atoms of the free additive convolution of Borel probability measures on the real line have been described by Bercovici and Voiculescu in a previous paper.

Regularization by free additive convolution, square and rectangular cases
The free convolution ⊞ is the binary operation on the set of probability measures on the real line which allows to deduce, from the individual spectral distributions, the spectral distribution of a sum of independent unitarily invariant square random matrices or of a sum of free operators in a non commutative probability space. In the same way, the rectangular free convolution ⊞ λ allows to ded...
متن کاملThe Arithmetic of Distributions in Free Probability Theory
We give a new 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 M equipped with the operation of free convolution and prove a Khintchine type theorem for factorization of elements of this semigroup. Any element of M contains either indecomp...
متن کاملShortest Path Problem with Gamma Probability Distribution Arc Length
We propose a dynamic program to find the shortest path in a network having gamma probability distributions as arc lengths. Two operators of sum and comparison need to be adapted for the proposed dynamic program. Convolution approach is used to sum two gamma probability distributions being employed in the dynamic program.

Let k be a positive integer and let Dcpkq denote the space of joint distributions for k-tuples of selfadjoint elements in C -probability space. The paper studies the concept of “subordination distribution of μ ` ν with respect to ν” for μ, ν P Dcpkq, where ` is the operation of free additive convolution on Dcpkq. The main tools used in this study are combinatorial properties of R-transforms for...
