Quantum Algebra & Quantum Topology Seminar - Michael Hartglass
Title: An introduction to noncommutative (free) probability
Speaker: Michael Hartglass (Santa Clara University)
Abstract: Free probability is a brand of analysis invented by Dan Voiculescu. In this framework, one can make sense of "positivity", and an "expectation value", but the "random variables" need not commute i.e. XY need not be the same as YX. Despite this obstacle, I will motivate the study of such a field with concrete examples, and I will give a survey of results which parallel the study of classical (commutative) probability.
