Abstract

Hyperbolic complete monotonicity property (HCM\mathrm{HCM}) is a way to check if a distribution is a generalized gamma (GGC\mathrm{GGC}), hence is infinitely divisible. In this work, we illustrate to which extent the Mittag-Leffler functions Eα,  α(0,2]E_\alpha, \;\alpha \in (0,2], enjoy the HCM\mathrm{HCM} property, and then intervene deeply in the probabilistic context. We prove that, for suitable α\alpha and complex numbers zz, the real and imaginary part of the functions xEα(zx)x\mapsto E_\alpha \big(z x\big), are tightly linked to the stable distributions and to the generalized Cauchy kernel.
