In some recent papers ([1],[2],[3],[4]) we have investigated some general spectral properties of a multiplier defined on a commutative semi-simple Banach algebra. In this paper we expose some aspects concerning the Fredholm theory of multipliers.
We introduce dynamical analogues of the free orthogonal and free unitary quantum groups, which are no longer Hopf algebras but Hopf algebroids or quantum groupoids. These objects are constructed on the purely algebraic level and on the level of universal C*-algebras. As an example, we recover the dynamical studied by Koelink and Rosengren, and construct a refinement that includes several interesting limit cases.
We compute moments of the measures , where ϖ denotes the free Poisson law, and ⊞ and ⊠ are the additive and multiplicative free convolutions. These moments are expressed in terms of the Fuss-Narayana numbers.
