On operator-valued infinitesimal Boolean and monotone independence

Abstract

We introduce the notion of operator-valued infinitesimal (OVI) independence for the Boolean and monotone cases. Then show that OVI Boolean (resp. monotone) independence is equivalent to the operator-valued Boolean (resp. monotone) independence over an algebra of $2\times 2$ upper triangular matrices. Moreover, we derive formulas to obtain the OVI Boolean (resp. monotone) additive convolution by reducing it to the operator-valued case. We also define OVI Boolean and monotone cumulants and study its basic properties. Moreover, for each notion of OVI independence, we construct the corresponding OVI Central Limit Theorem. The relations among free, Boolean and monotone cumulants are extended to this setting. Besides, in the Boolean case we deduce that the vanishing of mixed cumulants is still equivalent to independence, and use this to connect scalar-valued with matrix-valued infinitesimal Boolean independence. Finally we study two random matrix models that are asymptotically Boolean independent but turn out to not be infinitesimally Boolean independent.

arXiv commentWe added a new Section, regarding the infinitesimal Central Limit Theorem. Corrected style and some typos
