This enables us to define what we call complex moments for some class of probability measures which do not have moments in the usual sense. There are two ways to generalize moments accordingly to Fourier and Stieltjes transforms; however these two turn out to coincide. As applications, we give short proofs of the convergence of probability measures to Cauchy distributions with respect to tensor, free, Boolean and monotone convolutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-01-15T04:39:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60B11", "30D20", "46L53", "46L54" ], "keywords": [ "probability measures", "stieltjes transforms", "analytic continuations", "generalized moments", "complex moments" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.1510H" } } }
