Finite rank perturbations and freeness?

It was discovered (Capitaine, Belischi-Bercovici-Capitain-Fevrier) that the description of the outlier involves free subordination

  • functions. For example, if AN is GUE and BN has 1 eigenvalue θ

and the rest zero, then we set (ωA, ωB) = subordination functions for η ⊞ δ0 with η = semicircle law, i.e., ωA(z) = F −1

η (z), ωB(z) = z,

then there will be an outlier at θ′ = ωA(θ) (i.e. Gµ(θ′) = 1/θ).

Another look at laws of random matrices

We consider the 1/N expansion of the law of AN + BN : µA+B

N

= µA+B + 1 N ˙ µA+B + o(N−1). The idea is that moving 1 eigenvalue out of N gives a perturbation

  • f µA+B which is of order 1/N. Our aim is to compute ˙

µA+B. Thus we want to keep track of the pair µA+B, ˙ µA+B and not just µA+B (ordinary free probability).

Infinitesimal free probability theory [Belinschi-D.S, 2012]

To encode such questions we consider an infinitesimal probability space (A, φ, φ′) where A is a unital algebra, φ, φ′ : A → C are linear functionals and φ(1) = 1, φ′(1) = 0.

Example

Let (A, φt) be a family of probability spaces, and assume that φt = φ + tφ′ + o(t). Then (A, φ, φ′) is an infinitesimal probability space.

Let (A, φt) be a family of probability spaces, and assume that φt = φ + tφ′ + o(t). Then (A, φ, φ′) is an infinitesimal probability space. Eg: Xt family of random variables and you define φt : C[t] → C by φt(p) = E(p(Xt)).

N τ ′ + o(N−1) and moreover

A(N) and B(N) are infinitesimally free under (τ, τ ′).

Corollary

Let A(N), B(N) ∈ (A, φ) be operators having the same law of A(N) and B(N) respectively, but such that A(N) and B(N) are free for each N. Then µA(N)+B(N) = µA(N)+B(N) + o(1/N). In particular, µA(N)+B(N) = µA(N) ⊞ µB(N) + o(1/N) explaining the connection with free convolution.

Infinitesimal freeness is not for free!

Let Y (1)

N , Y (2) N

be an N × N real iid self-adjoint Gaussian matrices. Then each has law µN = η + 1

N η′ + O(N−2) . However, they are

not asymptocially infinitesimally free.

Remarks

◮ Same statement holds if we assume that

A(N) = U(N)D(N)U(N)∗ with U(N) Haar-distributed unitary matrix and D(N) a diagonal matrix so that µD

N are all

supported on a compact set and µD

N → µD weakly. ◮ Can also handle the real Gaussian case, which is different in

that µA

N = η + 1 N ˙

η + o(1/N) with η the semicircle law and ˙ η = 1 4(δ√

2 + δ− √ 2) −

1 2π √ 2 − t2χ[−

√ 2, √ 2](t)dt

˙ µreal = ˙ µcomplex + ˙ η.

◮ We can also deduce formulas for other polynomials in A(N)

and B(N), such as products B(N)A(N)2B(N).
