Abstract

We investigate possible generalizations of the de Finetti theorem to bi-free probability. We first introduce a twisted action of the quantum permutation groups corresponding to the combinatorics of bi-freeness. We then study properties of families of pairs of variables which are invariant under this action, both in the bi-noncommutative setting and in the usual noncommutative setting. We do not have a completely satisfying analogue of the de Finetti theorem, but we have partial results leading the way. We end with suggestions concerning the symmetries of a potential notion of n-freeness.

Highlights

  • If H = ∗iHi is the reduced free product Hilbert space, B(Hi) can be represented on H by letting the operators act on the leftmost tensor if it is in Hi

  • We study possible generalizations of the de Finetti theorem to the setting of bi-freeness

  • This yields quantum symmetries in the sense that a family of pairs which is bi-free and identically distributed with amalgamation is invariant under the twisted action

Summary

Introduction

This work is highly technical, but they were able to generalize many basic results from operator-valued free probability theory to the setting of pairs of random variables. One possible direction is to study quantum symmetries and in particular generalizations of the de Finetti theorem Speicher in [6] that an infinite family of noncommutative random variables is free and identically distributed with amalgamation over a subalgebra if and only if it is invariant under a natural action of the quantum permutation group. It is twisted so that it matches the specific combinatorics of bi-noncrossing partitions This yields quantum symmetries in the sense that a family of pairs which is bi-free and identically distributed with amalgamation is invariant under the twisted action. This gives some clues on what the combinatorics of n-freeness should be, if such a notion exists
