Exponential convergence rates for weighted sums in noncommutative probability space. (English) Zbl 1370.46040

Weighted sums of independent random variables (with a triangular array of coefficients) in tracial \(W^*\)-probability spaces are investigated. The mainly used notion of noncommutative independence is called strong independence: this is factorization of the trace for disjoint index sets of the variables. For some results, successive independence is enough.
Conditions for exponential convergence of such weighted sums are provided, which generalize the classical results in [L. E. Baum et al., Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 102, 187–199 (1962; Zbl 0107.13201)]. Applications are given to large deviations and to free additive convolutions of probability measures.
