    This paper is divided by 5 sections regarding as the 4 theses which were already published by the name of the author. The contents are some examples, open question, explicit computations and simple added facts which are not contained in the previous 4 theses. In the first section, the author described the free product of \(C^*\)- algebras, free product of Hilbert spaces and some related examples. In the second section, the author states the free family of noncommutative random variables and the analogue of the Gaussian functor. In the third, he writes up the free convolution, dual algebraic structures and gives one example. In the 4th section, he states the computing free convolution, spectral problems on free groups. Here, the author defined the multiplicative free convolution * defined by \((\mu_ 1*\mu_ 2)(X)=\mu_ 1(X)\mu_ 2(X)\), where \(\mu_ j\) \((j=1,2)\) are distribution of random variables. He states some examples and roles about the convolution *. Finally, in the 5th section, the author states the free products with amalgamation. He says that a large part of the material in the previous four sections can be extended to the context of free product with amalgamation. And he gives suitable examples and simple new facts about it.
