The Moment

This article focuses on free probability theory, which is useful for dealing with asymptotic eigenvalue distributions in situations involving several matrices. In particular, it considers some of the basic ideas and results of free probability theory, mostly from the random matrix perspective. After providing a brief background on free probability theory, the article discusses the moment method for several random matrices and the concept of freeness. It then gives some of the main probabilistic notions used in free probability and introduces the combinatorial theory of freeness. In this theory, freeness is described in terms of free cumulants in relation to the planar approximations in random matrix theory (RMT). The article also examines free harmonic analysis, second-order freeness, operator-valued free probability theory, further free-probabilistic aspects of random matrices, and operator algebraic aspects of free probability.

Special Case

Abstract Given a selfadjoint polynomial $P(X,Y)$ in two noncommuting selfadjoint indeterminates, we investigate the asymptotic eigenvalue behavior of the random matrix $P(A_N,B_N)$, where $A_N$ and $B_N$ are independent Hermitian random matrices and the distribution of $B_N$ is invariant under conjugation by unitary operators. We assume that the empirical eigenvalue distributions of $A_N$ and $B_N$ converge almost surely to deterministic probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$, respectively. In addition, the eigenvalues of $A_N$ and $B_N$ are assumed to converge uniformly almost surely to the support of $\mu$ and $\nu ,$ respectively, except for a fixed finite number of fixed eigenvalues (spikes) of $A_N$. It is known that almost surely the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues of $P(A_N,B_N)$ converges to a certain deterministic probability measure $\eta \ (\textrm{sometimes denoted}\ P^\square(\mu,\nu))$ and, when there are no spikes, the eigenvalues of $P(A_N,B_N)$ converge uniformly almost surely to the support of $\eta$. When spikes are present, we show that the eigenvalues of $P(A_N,B_N)$ still converge uniformly to the support of $\eta$, with the possible exception of certain isolated outliers whose location can be determined in terms of $\mu ,\nu ,P$, and the spikes of $A_N$. We establish a similar result when $B_N$ is replaced by a Wigner matrix. The relation between outliers and spikes is described using the operator-valued subordination functions of free probability theory. These results extend known facts from the special case in which $P(X,Y)=X+Y$.
