Let X be a locally compact Abelian group. We consider linear forms of independent random variables with values in X. In doing so, one of the coefficients of the linear forms is a random variable with a Bernoulli distribution. For some…

It is known that if X is uniformly distributed modulo 1 and Y is an arbitrary random variable independent of X then Y+X is also uniformly distributed modulo 1. We prove a converse for any continuous random variable Y (or a reasonable…

We generalize the following univariate characterization of the Kummer and Gamma distributions to the cone of symmetric positive definite matrices: let $X$ and $Y$ be independent, non-degenerate random variables valued in $(0, \infty)$, then…

Let X_1,X_2,... be independent identically distributed random elements of a compact group G. We discuss the speed of convergence of the law of the product X_l*...*X_1 to the Haar measure. We give poly-log estimates for certain finite groups…

A short, information-theoretic proof of the Kac--Bernstein theorem, which is stated as follows, is presented: For any independent random variables $X$ and $Y$, if $X+Y$ and $X-Y$ are independent, then $X$ and $Y$ are normally distributed.

Let $X$ be a countable discrete Abelian group containing no elements of order 2, $\alpha$ be an automorphism of $X$, $\xi_1$ and $\xi_2$ be independent random variables with values in the group $X$ and distributions $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$. The…

An invariant random subgroup $H \leq G$ is a random closed subgroup whose law is invariant to conjugation by all elements of $G$. When $G$ is locally compact and second countable, we show that for every invariant random subgroup $H \leq G$…

We show that any pair $X, Y$ of independent, non-compactly supported random variables on $[0,\infty)$ satisfies $\liminf_{m\to\infty} \mathbb{P}(\min(X,Y) >m \,| \,X+Y> 2m) =0$. We conjecture multi-variate and weighted generalizations of…

A random variable X is strictly stable if a sum of independent copies of X has the same distribution as X up to scaling, and is stable (in the broad sense) if the sum has the same distribution as X up to both scaling and shifting. Steutel…

In this paper, using inverse integral transforms, we derive the exact distribution of the random variable $X$ that is involved in the ratio $Z \stackrel{d}{=} X/(X+Y)$ where $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables having the same…

On a compact group the Haar probability measure plays the role of uniform distribution. The entropy and rate distortion theory for this uniform distribution is studied. New results and simplified proofs on convergence of convolutions on…

Let $L_1$ and $L_2$ be linear forms of real-valued independent random variables. By Heyde's theorem, if the conditional distribution of $L_2$ given $L_1$ is symmetric, then the random variables are Gaussian. A number of papers are devoted…

We prove an arithmetic removal result for all compact abelian groups, generalizing a finitary removal result of Kr\'al', Serra and the third author. To this end, we consider infinite measurable hypergraphs that are invariant under certain…

It is well known that the ratio of two independent standard Gaussian random variables follows a Cauchy distribution. Any convex combination of independent standard Cauchy random variables also follows a Cauchy distribution. In a recent…
