Welcome to “Free Probability Theory”

Hello!

This is a blog on topics around Free Probability Theory. Originally, I created this to provide a forum around my lecture on free probability theory. But now I plan (at least hope) to extend it to general blog on free probability theory.

So I hope to post here also all kind of information which is relevant in the context of free probability theory, like: meetings, new results, discussions of open problems or general directions in the subject.

I hope that others will also make some contributions; if you are interested in writing your own posts in this context, please contact me!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

We have now the Christmas break for our term. This means there will be no classes for two weeks. We will continue on January 7, 2019; there will be about ten more lectures. We will then cover two more main themes:

i) the random matrix connections of free probability (in particular, show the asymptotic freeness of many random matrix models)

ii) applications of free probability to von Neumann algebras (in particular, treat results about compressions of free group factors)
