Spectral measures of small index principal graphs

Abstract

The principal graph $X$ of a subfactor with finite Jones index is one of the important algebraic invariants of the subfactor. If $\Delta$ is the adjacency matrix of $X$ we consider the equation $\Delta =U+U^{-1}$. When $X$ has square norm $\le 4$ the spectral measure of $U$ can be averaged by using the map $u\to u^{-1}$, and we get a probability measure $\epsilon$ on the unit circle which does not depend on $U$. We find explicit formulae for this measure $\epsilon$ for the principal graphs of subfactors with index $\le 4$, the (extended) Coxeter-Dynkin graphs of type $A$, $D$ and $E$. The moment generating function of $\epsilon$ is closely related to Jones' $\Theta$-series.
