Partly Divisible Probability Measures on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A notion of admissible probability measures mu on a locally compact Abelian group (LCA-group) G with connected dual group hatG=RdimesTn is defined. To such a measure mu, a closed semigroup Lambda(mu)subseteq(0,infty) can be associated, such that, for tinLambda(mu), the Fourier transform to the power t, (hatmu)t, is a characteristic function. We prove that the existence of roots for non admissible probability measures underlies some restrictions, which do not hold in the admissible case. As we show for the example , in the case of LCA-groups with non connected dual group, there is no canonical definition of the set Lambda(mu).
