Absolute convergence of an infinite convolution (Q1382399)

Consider the theorem: If the infinite convolution \(\prod \mu_n\) of regular probability measures on a commutative locally compact group \(G\) is convergent, then there exist elements \(g_n \in G\) such that every rearrangement of the infinite convolution \(\prod(\mu_n \delta(-g_n))\) converges to a common limit. \textit{J.-L. Mauclaire} [Acta Math. Hung. 72, No. 3, 215-220 (1996; Zbl 0866.60014)] showed it was sufficient to prove this for the cases \(G=\mathbb R\) and \(G\) compact. In this paper, the author gives the proof for these special cases; he had announced these special case results (without proof) already in 1981.
