The Dyson equation for $2$-positive maps and H\"older bounds for the L\'evy distance of densities of states

The so-called density of states is a Borel probability measure on the real line associated with the solution of the Dyson equation which we set up, on any fixed $C^\ast$-probability space, for a selfadjoint offset and a $2$-positive linear map. Using techniques from free noncommutative function theory, we prove explicit H\"older bounds for the L\'evy distance of two such measures when any of the two parameters varies. As the main tools for the proof, which are also of independent interest, we show that solutions of the Dyson equation have strong analytic properties and evolve along any $C^1$-path of $2$-positive linear maps according to an operator-valued version of the inviscid Burgers equation.Comment: 27 page
