Conjecture on convergence from free to Boolean maximum powers

About 7 years old · traced to

Let {Fn}n\{F_n\}_n be a sequence in Δ+\Delta_+ and {kn}n\{k_n\}_n a sequence of positive integers such that

k1<k2<⋯ .k_1<k_2<\cdots.

Suppose that F∈Δ+F\in\Delta_+ and that

Fn□∨kn→wF.F_n^{\Box\hspace{-.55em}\lor k_n}\xrightarrow{w}F.

Free-to-Boolean maximum convergence conjecture. Then there exists G∈Δ+G\in\Delta_+ such that

Fn∪∨kn→wGas n→∞.F_n^{\cup\hspace{-.52em}\lor k_n}\xrightarrow{w}G\qquad\text{as }n\to\infty.

Moreover,

G=12−FG=\frac{1}{2-F}

on {F>0}\{F>0\}. This conjecture formulates the expectation that the converse implication from free maximum convergence to Boolean maximum convergence holds without assuming that the limiting distribution is positive everywhere. The examples preceding the conjecture show that the behavior on {F=0}\{F=0\} can depend on the approximating sequence, while the claimed existence of a distribution-function limit and the formula on {F>0}\{F>0\} remain to be established.
