A Matrix Representation of the Bercovici-Pata Bijection

Thierry Cabanal-Duvillard, Université Paris 5

Abstract

Let μ be an infinitely divisible law on the real line, Λ(μ) its freely infinitely divisible image by the Bercovici-Pata bijection. The purpose of this article is to produce a new kind of random matrices with distribution μ at dimension 1, and with its empirical spectral law converging to Λ(μ) as the dimension tends to infinity. This constitutes a generalisation of Wigner's result for the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble.
