Some applications of free Fisher information on frame theory (Q2569898)

In [\textit{B.~Meng, M.--Z.\ Guo} and \textit{X.--H.\ Cao}, Proc.\ Am.\ Math.\ Soc.\ 133, No.~10, 3087--3096 (2005; Zbl 1086.46045)], the authors generalized the notion of free Fisher information to the operator-valued setting. In the paper under review, they introduce the notion of operator-valued free Fisher information with respect to a positive map which is defined in a way that is almost identical to the definition of free Fisher information with respect to a completely positive map mentioned in \textit{D.~Shlyakhtenko} [Am.\ J.\ Math.\ 122, No.~1, 45--81 (2000; Zbl 0949.46033)]. They also point out its close relations to the modular frames arising from conditional expectations. Using \textit{R.~Speicher}'s cumulant function theory [``Combinatorial theory of the free product with amalgamation and operator-valued free probability theory'' (Mem.\ Am.\ Math.\ Soc.\ 627) (1998; Zbl 0935.46056)], they investigate the properties of operator-valued free Fisher information and apply it to study disjointness of frames.
