Free probability: A unitary group heuristic for the relationship between additive free convolution and free compression

From one perspective, free probability is the study of how the eigenvalues of large random matrices interact under the basic matrix operations. The free probability operations of free additive ...

Eigenvectors of random unitary matrices

Any unitary matrix $U$ can be diagonalized by another unitary matrix $V$, $$U=VDV^\dagger,$$ where $D={\rm diag}(z_1,z_2,...,z_N)$ is diagonal. If $U$ is taken at random uniformly with respect to Haar ...

Haar unitaries with constraints

Given that one can sample unitaries from the Haar measure over $U(n)$ (as in F. Mezzadri, Notices of the AMS 54 (2007), 592-604), how can one sample from the uniform distribution over the following ...

Sample from a delta-ball in the orthogonal group O(n)

An answer to another question derived a formula for the volume of a delta-ball in $O(n)$. I am wondering if there is a (constructive) way to draw samples uniformly at random from such a region. For ...
