    \textit{D. Voiculescu} [Lect. Notes Math. 1132, 556-588 (1985; Zbl 0618.46048)] initiated studying the operator algebra free product from the probabilistic point of view, and suggested to look at free products as an analogue of tensor products and to treet with freeness similar to independence. In particular, the central limit theorem for free random variables holds with limit distribution equal to semicircle law. Semicircle laws play in many respects the role of Gaussian laws, when independence is replaced by freeness in a noncommutative probability space. In usual probability theory various characterizations of the Gaussian law have been obtained. In this paper, the authors consider the free analogue of such kind characterizations for a semicircle law.
