Title: "The Free Central Limit Theorem"
Room: MC 107

Abstract: Free Probability is used to study non-commutative random variables and has its roots in Voiculescu’s work on operator algebras in the 1980s. The notion of free independence serves as the non-commutative analogue of independence in classical probability theory. One of the most famous results in probability theory is the central limit theorem and in this talk we will prove the analogous result in free probability theory, known as the free central limit theorem.  The proof is combinatorial in nature and all relevant notions of Free Probability will be introduced beforehand.
