Ona relation between classical and free infinitely divisible transforms

Abstract

We study two ways (levels) of finding free-probability analogues of classical infinitely divisible measures. More precisely, we identify their Voiculescu transforms. For free-selfdecomposable measures we found the formula (a differential equation) for their background driving transforms. We illustrate our methods on the hyperbolic characteristic functions. As a by-product our approach may produce new formulas for some definite integrals.
