On operator-valued free convolution powers

Abstract: We give an explicit realization of the

e t a

-convolution power of an

A

-valued distribution, as defined earlier by Anshelevich, Belinschi, Fevrier and Nica. If

e t a : A o A

is completely positive and

e t a g e q o p e r a t o r n a m e i d

, we give a short proof of positivity of the

e t a

-convolution power of a positive distribution. Conversely, if

e t a o t g e q o p e r a t o r n a m e i d

, and

s

is large enough, we construct an

s

-tuple whose

A

-valued distribution is positive, but has non-positive

e t a

-convolution power.
