1 A Note on Cyclic Gradients Dan Voiculescu arxiv:math/ v1 [math.ra] 4 May 2000 To the memory of Gian-Carlo Rota The cyclic derivative was introduced by G.-C. Rota, B. Sagan and P. R. Stein in [3] as an extension of the derivative to noncommutative polynomials. Here we show that there are simple necessary and sufficient conditions for an n-tuple of polynomials in n noncommuting indeterminates to be a cyclic gradient (see Theorem 1 and similarly for a polynomial to have vanishing cyclic gradient (see Theorem 2. Our interest in cyclic gradients stems from free probability theory and random matrices (see the Remark at the end [1],[2],[4],[5],[6]. This note should also reduce the paucity of results on cyclic derivatives in several variables pointed out in [3, page 73]. Let K n = K X 1,..., X n be the ring of polynomials in noncommuting indeterminates X 1,...,X n with coefficients in the field K of characteristic zero. The partial generalized difference quotients are the derivations j : K n K n K n such that j X k = 0 if j k and j X j = 1 1. The here is over K and K n K n is given the bimodule structure such that a(b c = ab c, (b cd = b cd. The partial cyclic derivatives are then δ j = µ j : K n K n where µ(a b = ba. We shall denote by N : K n K n the number operator, i.e. the linear map so that N1 = 0, NX i1... X ik = kx i1...x ik. Also, CK n will denote the cyclic subspace, i.e. the vector subspace spanned by all cyclic symmetrizations of monomials CX i1... X ip = X ij+1...x ip X i1...x ij, p 1 and C1=0 1 j p (the constants are not in the cyclic subspace. 1
2 Theorem 1 Let P 1,...,P n K n. The following conditions are equivalent: (i there is P K n such that δ j P = P j (1 j n. (ii [X j, P j ] = 0. (iii (iv δ k ( X j P j CK n. X j P j = (N + IP k. (Here I denotes the identity map of K n to itself. Proof. It is easily seen that it suffices to prove the theorem for homogeneous P 1,..., P n of the same degree, i.e. we may assume NP j = sp j (1 j n for some s 0. Also the case of constants being obvious we will concentrate on s 1. (i (ii To check that [X j, δ j P] = 0 it suffices to do so when P is a monomial X i0...x is. Then δ j P = i p=j X ip+1...x is X i0...x ip 1 so that ( Xip...X is X i0...x ip 1 X ip+1...x is X i0...x ip [X j, δ j P] = i p=j and hence (ii (iii Let [X j, δ j P] = 1 p s The coefficient of X i0... X is in ( Xip...X is X i0...x ip 1 X ip+1...x is X i0...x ip = 0. P j = i 1,...,i s c j i 1...i s X i1... X is [X j, P j ] is c i 0 c is i 0...i s 1. Hence (ii gives c i 0 = c is i 0...i s 1. On the other hand, if c i0...i s denotes the coefficient of X i0...x is in X j P j, clearly c i0...i s = c i 0, so that (ii implies c i0...i s = c isi 0...i s 1, i.e. cyclicity. i j n 2
3 (iii (iv As before, let c j i 1...i s and c i0...i s denote the coefficients of P j and j X j P j respectively. Then c i 0 = c i0...i s and the cyclicity condition gives c i0...i s = c isi 0...i s 1. We have ( δ k X j P j k = c i0...i s X ir+1...x is X i0...x ir 1 i 0...i s {r:i r=k} = i 0...i s {r:i r=k} = 0 r s c k i r+1...i si 0...i r 1 X ir+1...x is X i0... X ir 1 i 0...i r 1 i r+1...i s c k i r+1...i si 0...i r 1 X ir+1...x is X i0...x ir 1 = (s + 1P k. (iv (i Since the P j are homogeneous of the same degree and the field characteristic is zero, this is obvious. There is also a simple description of the noncommutative polynomials with vanishing cyclic gradient. Theorem 2 We have Ker δ = Proof. (i Ker δ Ker C. We have (ii Clearly, [X k, K n ] + C1 = C1 + [K n, K n ] = Ker C Cp = 1 j m X j δ j p = 0 [X k, K n ] + C1 [K n, K n ] + C1 Also, since 1 Ker C and [X i1...x ir, X ir+1...x ir+s ] is the difference of two cyclic permutations of X i1... X ir+s, we have [K n, K n ] + C1 Ker C. To see that Ker C [X k, K n ] + C1, remark that Ker C is spanned by homogeneous elements and that Cp = 0, where p is homogeneous of degree m iff p is a linear combination of differences X i1...x im X i2...x im X i0. 3
4 (iii To see that [X k, K n ] + C1 Ker δ, it suffices to show that [X k, X i1...x is ] Ker δ. This is clearly so, since [X k, X i1...x is ] = X k X is...x is X i1...x is X k and the cyclically equivalent elements X k X i1...x is, X i1...x is X ik gradient. have the same cyclic Putting together the two theorems, we have an exact sequence δ 0 [K n, K n ] K n (K n n θ K n where θ((p j = j [X j, P j ]. Remark. The motivation for this note is from free entropy and large deviations for random matrices. Let (M, τ be a von Neumann algebra with normal faithful trace-state τ and X k = Xk M (1 k n which are algebraically free. Let J k = J (X k : C X 1,...,X k 1, X k+1,..., X n be the noncommutative Hilbert transforms defined in [4], in connection with free entropy. On the other hand, the upper bound for large deviations for n-tuples of random matrices found in [2] fits well with free entropy except for a term involving cyclic gradients and about which it is not known whether it is not actually zero. The precise question is, whether the n-tuple (J k (when it exists is a limit in 2-norm of cyclic gradients of polynomials in the noncommuting variables X 1,...,X n? The theorem we proved here provides a partial affirmative answer: If (J k are noncommutative polynomials in X 1,...,X n, then there is a noncommutative polynomial P in X 1,..., X n such that J k = δ k P (1 k n. Indeed, by Corollary 5.12 in [5] we have k [J k, X k ] = 0. Hence the commutator condition (ii in the Theorem is satisfied. Acknowledgments.
