Matrix liberation process II: Relation to orbital free entropy

Abstract

We investigate the concept of orbital free entropy from the viewpoint of matrix liberation process. We will show that many basic questions around the definition of orbital free entropy are reduced to the question of full large deviation principle for the matrix liberation process. We will also obtain a large deviation upper bound for a certain family of random matrices that is an essential ingredient to define the orbital free entropy. The resulting rate function is made up into a new approach to free mutual information.
