"On the anti-commutator of two free random variables"
Let a, b be freely independent random variables in a non-commutative probability space. Based on some considerations on bipartite graphs, we provide a formula to express the n-th free cumulant of the anticommutator ab+ba as a sum indexed by a subset Y_{2n} of non-crossing partitions of {1,2,...,2n}. The study of the sets Y_{2n} yields new results regarding the distribution of ab+ba. For instance, the size |Y_{2n}| is closely related to the case when a,b have a Marchenko-Pastur (free Poisson) distribution of parameter 1. The talk is based on the preprint arXiv:2101.09444.
