On Burdick's symmetry problem

  • Let P be a probability measure of the real line R such that each of the product measures P^{otimes n} assigns the value 1/2 to every half space in R^{n} having the origin as a boundary point. Then P is symmetric.Example: A strictly stable law on R is symmetric iff it has median zero. The treated symmetry problem is related to the problem of characterizing the distribution of X_1 by the distribution of (X_2 + X_1, ... ,X_n + X_1), with X_1, ... ,X_n being independent and identically distributed random variables.
