Stability of Cauchy–Stieltjes Kernel Families by Free and Boolean Convolutions Product

Abstract

Let F(νj)={Qmjνj,mj∈(m−νj,m+νj)}, j=1,2, be two Cauchy–Stieltjes Kernel (CSK) families induced by non-degenerate compactly supported probability measures ν1 and ν2. Introduce the set of measures F=F(ν1)⊞F(ν2)={Qm1ν1⊞Qm2ν2,m1∈(m−ν1,m+ν1)andm2∈(m−ν2,m+ν2)}. We show that if F remains a CSK family, (i.e., F=F(μ) where μ is a non-degenerate compactly supported measure), then the measures μ, ν1 and ν2 are of the Marchenko–Pastur type measure up to affinity. A similar conclusion is obtained if we substitute (in the definition of F) the additive free convolution ⊞ by the additive Boolean convolution ⊎. The cases where the additive free convolution ⊞ is replaced (in the definition of F) by the multiplicative free convolution ⊠ or the multiplicative Boolean convolution are also studied.
