Review text

For almost every stable law (for characteristic exponent 1 only the Cauchy law is considered) a class of additive functions is constructed whose limiting distribution, with an appropriate centering and norming, is this law. While such functions are already known [\textit{P. D. T. A. Elliott}, Probabilistic number theory, II: Central limit theorems (1980; Zbl 0431.10030); ch. 16], the present examples have two remarkable features. First, the norming function is (log x)\({}^{1/\alpha +o(1)}\), where \(\alpha\) is the characteristic exponent; next, the function does not behave as if the primes were independent, because it is dominated by the large primes and the independence principle works for small ones only. Very few examples of this phenomenon have so far been analyzed in detail, though a general result was already known [\textit{B. V. Levin} and the author, Acta Arith. 26, 333-364 (1975; Zbl 0318.10041)].
