Probability 2017-02-08 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

By the Heyde theorem, the Gaussian distribution on the real line is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form of of nn independent random variables given another. When n=2n=2 we prove analogues of this theorem in the case when independent random variables take values in a locally compact Abelian group XX and coefficients of the linear forms are topological automorphisms of XX.
