Non-free-infinite-divisibility conjectures for powers of semicircular variables

Let SS have the centered semicircular distribution with variance parameter 11, written SS(0,1)S\sim\mathcal{S}(0,1). Let rr be real. Semicircular power conjectures. The following assertions are expected:

  1. If r(0,2)r\in(0,2), then
Sr≁FID.|S|^r\not\sim {\rm FID}.
  1. If r(1,2)r\in(1,2), then
Srsign(S)≁FID.|S|^r\,\operatorname{sign}(S)\not\sim {\rm FID}.

These problems are posed to complete the analogy between the classical and free cases. The source gives them as problems remaining to be solved and provides no resolution.
