Characterization of distributions of \(Q\)-independent random variables on locally compact abelian groups



Abstract: Let X be a second countable locally compact Abelian group. We prove some group analogues of the Skitovich--Darmois, Heyde and Kac--Bernstein characterisation theorems for Q-independent random variables taking values in the group X. The proofs of these theorems are reduced to solving some functional equations on the character group of the group X.


In this article, the author studies a group analog of the Skitovich-Darmois theorem for \(Q\)-independent random variables and linear forms with integer coefficients. The author also studies group analogs of the Heyde theorem for \(Q\)-independent random variables, where coefficients of linear forms are topological automorphisms of the group \(X\). The author proves that the class of groups \(X\) where these theorems hold true does not change if we replace independence for \(Q\)-independence. In contrast to these results, the author shows that the class of groups \(X\) where the Kac-Bernstein theorem holds true gets narrower if we replace the condition of independence for \(Q\)-independence.
