On summable, positive Poisson-Mehler kernels built of Al-Salam--Chihara and related polynomials
Using special technique of expanding ratio of densities in an infinite series
of polynomials orthogonal with respect to one of the densities, we obtain
simple, closed forms of certain kernels built of the so called Al-Salam-Chihara
(ASC) polynomials. We consider also kernels built of some other families of
polynomials such as the so called big continuous q-Hermite polynomials that are
related to the ASC polynomials. The constructed kernels are symmetric and
asymmetric. Being the ratios of the densities they are automatically positive.
We expand also reciprocals of some of the kernels, getting nice identities
built of the ASC polynomials involving 6 variables like e.g. formula (nice).
These expansions lead to asymmetric, positive and summable kernels. The
particular cases (referring to q=1 and q=0) lead to the kernels build of
certain linear combinations of the ordinary Hermite and Chebyshev polynomials
Semigroups of distributions with linear Jacobi parameters
We show that a convolution semigroup of measures has Jacobi parameters
polynomial in the convolution parameter if and only if the measures come
from the Meixner class. Moreover, we prove the parallel result, in a more
explicit way, for the free convolution and the free Meixner class. We then
construct the class of measures satisfying the same property for the two-state
free convolution. This class of two-state free convolution semigroups has not
been considered explicitly before. We show that it also has Meixner-type
properties. Specifically, it contains the analogs of the normal, Poisson, and
binomial distributions, has a Laha-Lukacs-type characterization, and is related
to the case of quadratic harnesses.Comment: v3: the article is merged back together with arXiv:1003.4025. A

Hypercontractivity on the -Araki-Woods algebras
Extending a work of Carlen and Lieb, Biane has obtained the optimal
hypercontractivity of the -Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on the
-deformation of the free group algebra. In this note, we look for an
extension of this result to the type III situation, that is for the
-Araki-Woods algebras. We show that hypercontractivity from to
can occur if and only if the generator of the deformation is bounded.Comment: 17 page
Free Meixner states
Free Meixner states are a class of functionals on non-commutative polynomials
introduced in math.CO/0410482. They are characterized by a resolvent-type form
for the generating function of their orthogonal polynomials, by a recursion
relation for those polynomials, or by a second-order non-commutative
differential equation satisfied by their free cumulant functional. In this
paper, we construct an operator model for free Meixner states. By combinatorial
methods, we also derive an operator model for their free cumulant functionals.
This, in turn, allows us to construct a number of examples. Many of these
examples are shown to be trivial, in the sense of being free products of
functionals which depend on only a single variable, or rotations of such free
products. On the other hand, the multinomial distribution is a free Meixner
state and is not a product. Neither is a large class of tracial free Meixner
states which are analogous to the simple quadratic exponential families in
statistics.Comment: 30 page
Radial Bargmann representation for the Fock space of type B
Let be the probability and orthogonality measure for the
-Meixner-Pollaczek orthogonal polynomials, which has appeared in
\cite{BEH15} as the distribution of the -Gaussian process (the
Gaussian process of type B) over the -Fock space (the Fock space of
type B). The main purpose of this paper is to find the radial Bargmann
representation of . Our main results cover not only the
representation of -Gaussian distribution by \cite{LM95}, but also of
-Gaussian and symmetric free Meixner distributions on . In
addition, non-trivial commutation relations satisfied by -operators
are presented.Comment: 13 pages, minor changes have been mad
Lowering and raising operators for the free Meixner class of orthogonal polynomials
We compare some properties of the lowering and raising operators for the
classical and free classes of Meixner polynomials on the real line
A Lévy-Ciesielski expansion for quantum Brownian motion and the construction of quantum Brownian bridges
We introduce "probabilistic" and "stochastic Hilbertian structures". These seem to be a suitable context for developing a theory of "quantum Gaussian processes". The Schauder system is utilised to give a Lévy-Ciesielski representation of quantum (bosonic) Brownian motion as operators in Fock space over a space of square summable sequences. Similar results hold for non-Fock, fermion, free and monotone Brownian motions. Quantum Brownian bridges are defined and a number of representations of these are given
On twisted Fourier analysis and convergence of Fourier series on discrete groups
We study norm convergence and summability of Fourier series in the setting of
reduced twisted group -algebras of discrete groups. For amenable groups,
F{\o}lner nets give the key to Fej\'er summation. We show that Abel-Poisson
summation holds for a large class of groups, including e.g. all Coxeter groups
and all Gromov hyperbolic groups. As a tool in our presentation, we introduce
notions of polynomial and subexponential H-growth for countable groups w.r.t.
proper scale functions, usually chosen as length functions. These coincide with
the classical notions of growth in the case of amenable groups.Comment: 35 pages; abridged, revised and update
Connes' embedding problem and Tsirelson's problem
We show that Tsirelson's problem concerning the set of quantum correlations
and Connes' embedding problem on finite approximations in von Neumann algebras
(known to be equivalent to Kirchberg's QWEP conjecture) are essentially
equivalent. Specifically, Tsirelson's problem asks whether the set of bipartite
quantum correlations generated between tensor product separated systems is the
same as the set of correlations between commuting C*-algebras. Connes'
embedding problem asks whether any separable II factor is a subfactor of
the ultrapower of the hyperfinite II factor. We show that an affirmative
answer to Connes' question implies a positive answer to Tsirelson's.
Conversely, a positve answer to a matrix valued version of Tsirelson's problem
implies a positive one to Connes' problem
Discrete approximation of the free Fock space
International audienceWe prove that the free Fock space {\F}(\R^+;\C), which is very commonly used in Free Probability Theory, is the continuous free product of copies of the space \C^2. We describe an explicit embeding and approximation of this continuous free product structure by means of a discrete-time approximation: the free toy Fock space, a countable free product of copies of \C^2. We show that the basic creation, annihilation and gauge operators of the free Fock space are also limit of elementary operators on the free toy Fock space. When applying these constructions and results to the probabilistic interpretations of these spaces, we recover some discrete approximations of the semi-circular Brownian motion and of the free Poisson process. All these results are also extended to the higher multiplicity case, that is, {\F}(\R^+;\C^N) is the continuous free product of copies of the space \C^{N+1}
