A family of transformations on the set of all probability measures on the real line is introduced, which makes it possible to define new examples of convolutions. The associated central limit theorems are studied, and examples of the limit measures, related to the classical, free and boolean convolutions, are shown.

We present here two non-commutative situations where dynamical entropy estimates are possible. The first result is concerned with automorphisms of cross-products by an exact group that commute with the group action and generalizes the result known for amenable groups. The second is about continuous fields of C${}^{*}$-algebras and $C\left(X\right)$-automorphisms. Each result relies on explicit factorization via matrices.

We introduce noncommutative extensions of the Fourier transform of probability measures and its logarithm to the algebra (S) of complex-valued functions on the free semigroup S = FS(z,w) on two generators. First, to given probability measures μ, ν with all moments finite, we associate states μ̂, ν̂ on the unital free *-bialgebra (ℬ,ε,Δ) on two self-adjoint generators X,X’ and a projection P. Then we introduce and study cumulants which are additive under the convolution μ̂* ν̂ = μ̂ ⊗ ν̂ ∘ Δ when...

Let ℳ be a hyperfinite finite von Nemann algebra and ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ be an increasing filtration of finite-dimensional von Neumann subalgebras of ℳ. We investigate abstract fractional integrals associated to the filtration ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$. For a finite noncommutative martingale $x={\left(x_k\right)}_{1\le k\le n}\subseteq L₁\left(ℳ\right)$ adapted to ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ and 0 < α < 1, the fractional integral of x of order α is defined by setting $I^{\alpha }x={\sum }_{k=1}^n{\zeta }_k^{\alpha }d{x}_k$ for an appropriate sequence ${\left({\zeta }_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ of scalars. For the case of a noncommutative dyadic martingale in L₁() where is the type II₁ hyperfinite factor equipped...

This is an introductory paper about our recent merge of a noncommutative de Finetti type result with representations of the infinite braid and symmetric group which allows us to derive factorization properties from symmetries. We explain some of the main ideas of this approach and work out a constructive procedure to use in applications. Finally we illustrate the method by applying it to the theory of group characters.

This paper is devoted to the study of noncommutative weak Orlicz spaces and martingale inequalities. The Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem is extended to include noncommutative weak Orlicz spaces as interpolation classes. As an application, we prove the weak type Φ-moment Burkholder-Gundy inequality for noncommutative martingales through establishing a weak type Φ-moment noncommutative Khinchin inequality for Rademacher random variables.
