Abstract
In this paper we discuss the following problem: given a random variable with Gamma law such that and are independent, we want to understand if then and {\it each} follow a Gamma law. This is related to Cram\'er's theorem which states that if and are independent then follows a Gaussian law if and only if {\it and} follow a Gaussian law. We prove that Cram\'er's theorem is true in the Gamma context for random variables leaving in a Wiener chaos of fixed order but the result is not true in general. We also give an asymptotic variant of our result.
