  • Abstract
    A formula expressing free cumulants in terms of Jacobi parameters of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials is derived. It combines Flajoletʹs theory of continued fractions and the Lagrange inversion formula. For the converse we discuss Gessel–Viennot theory to express Hankel determinants in terms of various cumulants.
