Abstract
If is a probability on and consider the Dirichlet random probability it is such that for any measurable partition of then is Dirichlet distributed with parameters If the random variable of does exist and we denote by its distribution. The Dirichlet curve associated to the probability is the map It has simple properties like and when exists. The present paper shows first that if exists and if is a convex function on then is a decreasing function, which means that is decreasing according to the Strassen convex order of probabilities. The second aim of the paper is to prove a group of results around the following question: if for some , can we claim that is Cauchy distributed in
