We use a formula of Good to define noncommutative cumulants in a very general setting.It turns out that the essential property needed is exchangeability of random variables. Roughly speaking the formula says that cumulants are moments of a certain ``discrete Fourier transform'' of a random variable. This provides a simple unified method to understand the known examples of cumulants, like classical, free cumulants and various q-cumulants.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2004-09-02T10:46:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46L53", "05A18" ], "keywords": [ "noncommutative exchangeability systems", "noncommutative probability", "discrete fourier transform", "free cumulants", "essential property" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math.....10442L" } } }
