Abstract: Let $X$ be a compact connected Abelian group. It is well-known that then there exist topological automorphisms $$ of $X$ and independent random variables $x{i}_1$ and $x{i}_2$ with values in $X$ and distributions $m{u}_1,m{u}_2$ such that the linear forms $L_1=alph{a}_{1}x{i}_1+alph{a}_{2}x{i}_2$ and $$ are independent, whereas $m{u}_1$ and $m{u}_2$ are not represented as convolutions of Gaussian and idempotent distributions. This means that the Skitovich--Darmois theorem fails for such groups. We prove that if we consider three linear forms of three independent random variables taking values in $X$, where $X$ is an $$-adic solenoid, then the independence of the linear forms implies that at least one of the distributions is idempotent. We describe all such solenoids.
