Foundations of Free Noncommutative Function Theory
Share this pageDmitry S. Kaliuzhnyi-Verbovetskyi; Victor Vinnikov
In this book the authors develop a theory of free noncommutative
functions, in both algebraic and analytic settings. Such functions are
defined as mappings from square matrices of all sizes over a module
(in particular, a vector space) to square matrices over another
module, which respect the size, direct sums, and similarities of
matrices. Examples include, but are not limited to, noncommutative
polynomials, power series, and rational expressions.
Motivation and inspiration for using the theory of free
noncommutative functions often comes from free probability. An
important application area is “dimensionless” matrix
inequalities; these arise, e.g., in various optimization problems of
system engineering. Among other related areas are those of polynomial
identities in rings, formal languages and finite automata,
quasideterminants, noncommutative symmetric functions, operator spaces
and operator algebras, and quantum control.
