For independent random variables X and Y, if the conditional distribution of X given X + Y satisfies certain conditions, then the joint distribution of X and Y is a member of a certain one-parameter exponential family. Extensions for n independent random variables are given. A characterization for independent random variables involving order statistics is also given.

Sufficient conditions are given under which the absolute continuity of the joint distribution of conditionally independent random variables can be violated. It is shown that in the case of a dimension n>1 this occurs for a sufficiently large number of discontinuity points of one-dimensional conditional distributions.

According to the Heyde theorem the Gaussian distribution on the real line is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form of independent random variables given the other. We prove an analogue of this theorem for linear forms of two independent random variables taking values in an -adic solenoid containing no elements of order 2. Coefficients of the linear forms are topological automorphisms of the -adic solenoid.

LetXn1≦Xn2≦ ··· ≦Xnndenote the order statistics from a sample ofnindependent, identically distributed random variables, and suppose that the variablesXnn, Xn,n–1, ···, when suitably normalized, have a non-trivial limiting joint distributionξ1,ξ2, ···, asn → ∞. It is well known that the limiting distribution must be one of just three types. We provide a canonical representation of the stochastic process {ξn,n≧ 1} in terms of exponential variables, and use this representation to obtain limit theorems forξnasn →∞.

Abstract In this paper, we determine the limiting distribution of the image of the Eichler–Shimura map or equivalently the limiting joint distribution of the coefficients of the period polynomials associated to a fixed cusp form. The limiting distribution is shown to be the distribution of a certain transformation of two independent random variables both of which are equidistributed on the circle $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$, where the transformation is connected to the additive twist of the cuspidal $L$-function. Furthermore, we determine the asymptotic behavior of the zeroes of the period polynomials of a fixed cusp form. We use the method of moments and the main ingredients in the proofs are additive twists of $L$-functions and bounds for both individual and sums of Kloosterman sums.

It is shown that, in a superposition of finitely many independent renewal processes, an observation from the limiting (when t →∞) joint distribution of backward and forward recurrence times at t can be simulated by simulating an observation of the pair (UW, (1 – U)W), where U and Ware independent random variables with U ~ uniform(0, 1) and W distributed according to the limiting total life distribution of the superposition process.

It is shown that, in a renewal process with inter-arrival distributionF,an observation from the asymptotic (whent→∞) joint distribution of backward and forward recurrence times attcan be simulated by simulating an observation of the pair (UW, (1 –U)W), whereUandWare independent random variables withU~ uniform(0, 1) andWdistributed according to the length-biased version ofF.
