Abstract

We consider the resolvent (λ-a)-1 of any R-diagonal operator a in a II1-factor. Our main theorem (Theorem 1.1) gives a universal asymptotic formula for the norm of such a resolvent. En route to its proof, we calculate the R-transform of the operator |λ-c|2 where c is Voiculescu's circular operator, and we give an asymptotic formula for the negative moments of |λ - a|2 for any R-diagonal a. We use a mixture of complex analytic and combinatorial techniques, each giving finer information where the other can give only coarse detail. In particular, we introduce partition structure diagrams in Section 4, a new combinatorial structure arising in free probability.
