Abstract:

We consider the resolvent $(\lambda -a)^{-1}$ of any $\mathscr {R}$-diagonal operator $a$ in a $\mathrm {II}_1$-factor. Our main theorem (Theorem 1.1) gives a universal asymptotic formula for the norm of such a resolvent. En route to its proof, we calculate the $\mathscr {R}$-transform of the operator $|\lambda -c|^2$ where $c$ is Voiculescu’s circular operator, and we give an asymptotic formula for the negative moments of $|\lambda -a|^2$ for any $\mathscr {R}$-diagonal $a$. We use a mixture of complex analytic and combinatorial techniques, each giving finer information where the other can give only coarse detail. In particular, we introduce partition structure diagrams in Section 4, a new combinatorial structure arising in free probability.
