Free Stein discrepancy as a regularity condition​
Abstract:
Given an n-tuple of non-commutative random variables, its free Stein discrepancy relative to the semicircle law measures how ​``close '' the distribution is to the semicircle law. By considering free Stein discrepancies relative to a broader class of laws, one can define a quantity called the free Stein information. In this talk, we will discuss this and its relation to other free probabilistic quantities such as the free Fisher information and the non-microstates free entropy dimension. This is based on joint work in progress with Ian Charlesworth.
