Khovanov’s Heisenberg category, moments in free probability, and shifted symmetric functions
Algebraic Combinatorics, Tome 2 (2019) no. 1, pp. 49-74.

We establish an isomorphism between the center End (1) of the Heisenberg category defined by Khovanov in [13] and the algebra Λ * of shifted symmetric functions defined by Okounkov–Olshanski in [18]. We give a graphical description of the shifted power and Schur bases of Λ * as elements of End (1), and describe the curl generators of End (1) in the language of shifted symmetric functions. This latter description makes use of the transition and co-transition measures of Kerov [10] and the noncommutative probability spaces of Biane [2]
