Abstract

We obtain a description for the spectral distribution of the free Jacobi process for any initial pair of projections. This result relies on a study of the unitary operator $R U_{t} S U_{t}^{*}$ , where $R, S$ are two symmetries and ${(U_{t})}_{t \geq 0}$ is a free unitary Brownian motion, freely independent from ${R, S}$ . In particular, for nonnull traces of $R$ and $S$ , we prove that the spectral measure of $R U_{t} S U_{t}^{*}$ possesses two atoms at $\pm 1$ and an $L^{\infty}$ -density on the unit circle $T$ for every $t > 0$ . Next, via a Szegő-type transformation of this law, we obtain a full description of the spectral distribution of $P U_{t} Q U_{t}^{*}$ beyond the case where $τ (P) = τ (Q) = \frac{1}{2}$ . Finally, we give some specializations for which these measures are explicitly computed.
