The Ginibre ensemble GinUE(N) is the space MatN(C) equipped with the probability measure
αN e−X∗X dX.
Alternatively, it is the set of N × N random matrices whose entries are all i.i.d. complex normals (Re,Im i.i.d. N(0, 1)).

The circular operator c is the limit (in the sense of free probability) of the renormalized GinUE(N) as N → ∞. It can also be realized as c =
1 √ 2(s1 + is2), where s1, s2 are free
semicircular operators.

κ2[c, c∗] = κ2[c∗, c] = 1.

κ2n[u, u∗, . . . , u, u∗] = κ2n[u∗, u, . . . , u∗, u] = (−1)nCn−1.
- Definition. a is R-diagonal if its only non-zero free cumulants are
- f the forms
κ2n[a, a∗, . . . , a, a∗] κ2n[a∗, a, . . . , a∗, a].
Alternate characterization. a is R-diagonal if, given u Haar unitary ∗-free from a,
ua ∼ a.

- Matrix models: ensembles of the form αN e−V (X∗X) dX.
- If a, b are R-diagonal and ∗-free, then a + b and an are
R-diagonal; if x is anything ∗-free from a, ax is R-diagonal.
- Never normal except scalar multiples of Haar unitaries.
- Brown measure of a can be computed explicitly from the
S -transform of a∗a; rotationally-invariant, analytic density.
- Have continuous families of invariant subspaces.
- Maximize free entropy (χ and χ∗) under distribution constraints.
- Satisfy a strong Haagerup inequality.

T ≤ α √n T2,

1, . . . , a∗ d),
then
T ≤ α √n T2,
where α is a constant depending on sup(aj/aj2). E.g. for Haar unitaries u1, . . . , ud, this is a statement about the free group: if f : Fd → C is supported on words of length n in the generators (and not their inverses), then
f∗ ≤ √e √ n + 1 f2.
(If the inverses are included, the constant is (n + 1); this is the classical Haagerup inequality.)
