Abstract
We consider the effect of a partial transpose on the limit $*$-distribution of a Haar distributed random unitary matrix. If we fix the number of blocks, $b$, we show that the partial transpose can be decomposed along diagonals into a sum of $b$ matrices which are asymptotically free and identically distributed. We then consider the joint effect of different block decompositions and show that under some mild assumptions we also get asymptotic freeness.
