We show how a Cram\'er-Wold theorem for a family of multivariate probability distributions can be used to generate a similar theorem for mixtures (convex combinations) of distributions drawn from the same family. Using this abstract result,…
We present a short, elementary proof not involving Fourier transforms of the theorem of Cram\'er and Wold that a Borel probability measure is determined by its values on half-spaces.
We address the problem of testing for the invariance of a probability measure under the action of a group of linear transformations. We propose a procedure based on consideration of one-dimensional projections, justified using a variant of…
Multivariate discrete probability laws are considered. We show that such laws are quasi-infinitely divisible if and only if their characteristic functions are separated from zero. We generalize the existing results for the univariate…
We show that a Cram\'er--Wold device holds for infinite divisibility of $\mathbb{Z}^d$-valued distributions, i.e. that the distribution of a $\mathbb{Z}^d$-valued random vector $X$ is infinitely divisible if and only if $\mathcal{L}(a^T X)$…

An upper bound for the Kantorovich transport distance between probability measures on multidimensional Euclidean spaces is given in terms of transport distances between one dimensional projections. This quantifies the Cram\'er-Wold…
We conduct a KL-divergence based procedure for testing elliptical distributions. The procedure simultaneously takes into account the two defining properties of an elliptically distributed random vector: independence between length and…
We provide a distribution-free test that can be used to determine whether any two joint distributions $p$ and $q$ are statistically different by inspection of a large enough set of samples. Following recent efforts from Long et al. [1], we…
Given a finite abelian group $\Gamma$, we study the distribution of the $p$-part of the class group $\operatorname{Cl}(K)$ as $K$ varies over Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ or $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with Galois group isomorphic to $\Gamma$.…
Two rational primes p, q are called dual elliptic if there is an elliptic curve E mod p with q points. They were introduced as an interesting means for combining the strengths of the elliptic curve and cyclotomy primality proving…
Following Lang and Trotter we describe a probabilistic model that predicts the distribution of primes $p$ with given Frobenius traces at $p$ for two fixed elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. In addition, we propose explicit Euler product…
Multivariate elliptically-contoured distributions are widely used for modeling correlated and non-Gaussian data. In this work, we study the kurtosis of the elliptical model, which is an important parameter in many statistical analysis.…
The quantization scheme in probability theory deals with finding a best approximation of a given probability distribution by a probability distribution that is supported on finitely many points. For a given $k\geq 2$, let $\{S_j : 1\leq…
For the integer $ D=pq$ of the product of two distinct odd primes, we construct an elliptic curve $E_{2rD}:y^2=x^3-2rDx$ over $\mathbb Q$, where $r$ is a parameter dependent on the classes of $p$ and $q$ modulo 8, and show, under the parity…
This paper presents a procedure for testing the hypothesis that the underlying distribution of the data is elliptical when using robust location and scatter estimators instead of the sample mean and covariance matrix. Under mild assumptions…
This work presents an upper-bound to value that the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence can reach for a class of probability distributions called quantum distributions (QD). The aim is to find a distribution $U$ which maximizes the KL…
Quasi-infinitely divisible (QID) distributions have been recently introduced by Lindner, Pan and Sato (\textit{Trans.~Amer.~Math.~Soc.}~\textbf{370}, 8483-8520 (2018)). A random variable $X$ is QID if and only if there exist two infinitely…
Any self-similar directed graph iterated function system with probabilities, defined on m-dimensional Euclidean space, determines a unique list of self-similar Borel probability measures whose supports are the components of the attractor.…
We study the distribution of a general class of asymptoticallylinear statistics which are symmetric functions of $N$ independent observations. The distribution functions of these statistics are approximated by an Edgeworth expansion with a…
