Hinz–Młotkowski conjecture on free Poisson double convolution powers

Let π\bm{\pi} be the free Poisson distribution with mean 11, and for s,t>0s,t>0 define the double free convolution power

π~st=(πs)t.\tilde{\bm{\pi}}_{st}=(\bm{\pi}^{\boxtimes s})^{\boxplus t}.

The moments of this measure are given by m~0(s,t)=1\tilde{m}_0(s,t)=1 and, for n1n\geq1,

m~n(s,t)=k=1ntkn(nk1)(nsnk).\tilde{m}_n(s,t)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{t^k}{n}\binom{n}{k-1}\binom{ns}{n-k}.

Hinz–Młotkowski conjecture. The double power π~st\tilde{\bm{\pi}}_{st} is a probability measure if and only if max(s,t)1\max(s,t)\geq1. Equivalently, the sequence (m~n(s,t))n0(\tilde{m}_n(s,t))_{n\geq0} is positive definite if and only if max(s,t)1\max(s,t)\geq1.
