q-Gaussian distributions are deformations of the usual Gaussian distribution. There are several different versions of this; here we treat a multivariate deformation arising from free probability theory and corresponding to deformations of the canonical commutation relations. For other versions, see Q-Gaussian_distribution and Gaussian_q-distribution.
History
The q-Gaussian distribution was formally introduced in a paper by Frisch and Bourret [1] under the name of parastochastics, and also later by Greenberg [2] as an example of infinite statistics. It was mathematically established and investigated in papers by Bozejko and Speicher [3] and by Bozejko, Kümmerer, and Speicher [4] in the context of non-commutative probability.
It is given as the distribution of sums of creation and annihilation operators in a q-deformed Fock space. The calculation of moments of those operators is given by a q-deformed version of a Wick formula or Isserlis formula. The specification of a special covariance in the underlying Hilbert space leads to the q-Brownian motion [4], a special non-commutative version of classical Brownian motion.
q-Fock space
In the following is fixed. Consider a Hilbert space . On the algebraic full Fock space
where with a norm one vector , called vacuum, we define a q-deformed inner product as follows:
where is the number of inversions of .
The q-Fock space is then defined as the completion of the algebraic full Fock space with respect to this inner product
For the q-inner product is strictly positive [3] [5]. For and it is positive, but has a kernel, which leads in these cases to the symmetric and anti-symmetric Fock spaces, respectively.
For we define the q-creation operator , given by
Its adjoint (with respect to the q-inner product), the q-annihilation operator , is given by
q-commutation relations
Those operators satisfy the q-commutation relations
For , , and this reduces to the CCR-relations, the Cuntz relations, and the CAR-relations, respectively. With the exception of the case the operators are bounded.
q-Gaussian elements and definition of multivariate q-Gaussian distribution
Operators of the form for are called q-Gaussian (or q-semicircular) elements.
On we consider the vacuum expectation state , for .
The (multivariate) q-Gaussian distribution is defined as the non commutative distribution of a collection of q-Gaussians with respect to the vacuum expectation state. For the joint distribution of with respect to can be described in the following way [1] [3], : for any we have
where denotes the number of crossings of the pair-partition . This is a q-deformed version of the Wick/Isserlis formula.
q-Gaussian distribution in the one-dimensional case
For p=1, the q-Gaussian distribution is a probability measure on the interval , with analytic formulas for its density, see Theorem 1.10 in [4]. For the special cases , , and , this reduces to the classical Gaussian distribution, the Wigner semicircle distribution, and the symmetric Bernoulli distribution on . The determination of the density follows from old results [6] on corresponding orthogonal polynomials.
Operator algebraic questions
The von Neumann algebra generated by , for running through an orthonormal system of vectors in , reduces for to the famous free group factors . Understanding the structure of those von Neumann algebras for general q has been a source of many investigations. It is now known, by work of Guionnet and Shlyakhtenko [7], that at least for finite I and for small values of q, the von Neumann algebra is isomorphic to the corresponding free group factor.
