Abstract
Free analogues of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality compare the relative
free Fisher information with the relative free entropy. In the present paper
such an inequality is obtained for measures on the circle. The method is
based on a random matrix approximation procedure, and a large deviation
result concerning the eigenvalue distribution of special unitary matrices is
applied and discussed.
