The free multiplicative convolution conjecture for graph wreath products

About 21 years old · traced to

Let XX and YY be colored graphs. Write X∗YX*Y for the colored graph obtained by putting a copy of XX at each vertex of YY, let μ(Z)\mu(Z) denote the spectral measure of the character of the algebra A(Z)A(Z) associated to a graph ZZ, and let ⊠\boxtimes denote Voiculescu's free multiplicative convolution. Free multiplicative convolution conjecture. The spectral measures satisfy

μ(X∗Y)=μ(X)⊠μ(Y).\mu(X*Y)=\mu(X)\boxtimes\mu(Y).

This conjecture concerns the behavior of character spectral measures under the graph operation X∗YX*Y and is presented as evidence-based work on analogues of spectral-measure formulae for quantum permutation groups; its resolution is not given in the source.
