Abstract: We consider a family of free multiplicative Brownian motions bs,au parametrized by a real variance parameter s and a complex covariance parameter au. We compute the Brown measure mus,au of ubs,au, where u is a unitary element freely independent of bs,au. We find that mus,au has a simple structure, with a density in logarithmic coordinates that is constant in the au-direction. These results generalize those of Driver-Hall-Kemp and Ho-Zhong for the case au=s. We also establish a remarkable "model deformation phenomenon," stating that all the Brown measures with s fixed and au varying are related by push-forward under a natural family of maps. Our proofs use a first-order nonlinear PDE of Hamilton-Jacobi type satisfied by the regularized log potential of the Brown measures. Although this approach is inspired by the PDE method introduced by Driver-Hall-Kemp, our methods are substantially different at both the technical and conceptual level.
