Conjectures on free infinite divisibility of beta, beta prime, and gamma distributions
Conjectures on free infinite divisibility of beta, beta prime, and gamma distributions
Let and denote the beta and beta prime distributions, respectively, and let denote the gamma distribution, with parameters in the positive reals. A probability distribution is freely infinitely divisible (FID) if it is infinitely divisible with respect to free convolution. The beta, beta prime, and gamma conjectures. The following assertions are conjectured:
- and are not FID for and .
- is FID if or if .
- is not FID for .
These claims extend known non-FID results for special beta parameter families and propose further parameter ranges of free infinite divisibility and non-divisibility. The source does not establish the assertions in general.
