Abstract: We consider a natural analogue of Brownian motion on free orthogonal quantum groups and prove that it exhibits a cutoff at time Nln(N). Then, we study the induced classical process on the real line and compute its atoms and density. This enables us to find the cutoff profile, which involves free Poisson distributions and the semi-circle law. We prove similar results for quantum permutations and quantum random transpositions.


The paper under review concerns the detailed study of asymptotics, or more precisely, the cut-off profiles, for distributions of natural quantum stochastic processes associated to compact quantum groups, continuing the work in [\textit{A. Freslon}, Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 174, No. 3--4, 731--760 (2019; Zbl 1432.46049)]. The authors focus on the so-called central states, which admit natural classical versions, given by restrictions to the character algebra of the quantum group in question (which for the examples studied happens to be commutative). The main result concerns the cut-off profile for the natural counterpart of the heat semigroup on the free orthogonal quantum group, which turns out to involve free Meixner distributions. The techniques employed come from a mixture of classical and free probability and require a delicate quantitative analysis of the behaviour of Chebyshev polynomials. The authors also establish analogous cut-off profiles in the context of free permutation groups, both for a heat-like semigroup and for random quantum transpositions.
