A hydrodynamic exercise in free probability: Setting up free Euler equations

摘要

For the free probability analogue of Euclidean space endowed with the Gaussian measure we apply the approach of Arnold to derive Euler equations for a Lie algebra of non-commutative vector fields which preserve a certain trace. We extend the equations to vector fields satisfying non-commutative smoothness requirements. We introduce a cyclic vorticity and show that it satisfies vorticity equations and that it produces a family of conserved quantities. (C) 2020 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
