A counter-example to the Cantelli conjecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we construct a counter-example to a question by Cantelli, asking whether there exists a non-constant positive measurable function φ such that for i.i.d. r.v. X,Y of law N (0, 1), the r.v. X + φ(X) · Y is also Gaussian. For the construction that we propose, we introduce a new tool, the Brownian mass transport: the mass is transported by Brownian particles that are stopped in a specific way. This transport seems to be interesting by itself, turning out to be related to the Skorokhod and Stefan problems.

متن کاملA Counter-example to a Conjecture of Cohen
Let G be a finite p-superperfect group. A conjecture of F. Cohen suggests that ΩBGp is resolvable by finitely many fibrations over spheres and iterated loop spaces on spheres, where (−)p denotes the p-completion functor of Bousfield and Kan. We produce a counter-example to this conjecture and discuss some related aspects of the homotopy type of ΩBGp .

متن کاملGeneralizations of Borel-Cantelli Lemma
The Borel-Cantelli Lemma is very important in the probability theory. In this paper, we first describe the general case of the Borel-Cantelli Lemma. The first part of this lemma, assuming convergence and the second part includes divergence and independence assumptions. In the following, we have brought generalizations of the first and second part of this lemma. In most generalizat...
متن کاملA Counter-example in Jacobson Radicals
A plausible conjecture states that an element of the Jacobson radical of the endomorphism ring of an abelian p-group increases the height of any non-zero element of the socle. I construct a counter-example.
