Abstract

Almost sure and $L^k$-convergence of the traces of Laguerre processes to the family of dilations of the standard free Poisson distribution are established. We also prove that the fluctuations around the limiting process, converge weakly to a continuous centered Gaussian process. The almost sure convergence on compact time intervals of the largest and smallest eigenvalues processes is also established
