چکیده
This expository paper is intended for a short self-contained introduction to the theory of infinite convolutions probability measures on Polish semigroups. We give proofs Rees decomposition theorem completely simple semigroups, Ellis–Żelazko theorem, convolution factorization idempotents, and cluster points convolutions.

Closeness of convolutions of probability measures
We derive new explicit bounds for the total variation distance between two convolution products of n ∈ N probability distributions, one of which having identical convolution factors. Approximations by finite signed measures of arbitrary order are considered as well. We are interested in bounds with magic factors, i.e. roughly speaking n also appears in the denominator. Special emphasis is given...
متن کاملImage Measures of Infinite Product Measures and Generalized Bernoulli Convolutions
We examine measure preserving mappings f acting from a probability space (Ω, F, μ) into a probability space (Ω, F , μ) , where μ = μ(f−1). Conditions on f , under which f preserves the relations ”to be singular” and ”to be absolutely continuous” between measures defined on (Ω, F ) and corresponding image measures, are investigated. We apply the results to investigate the distribution of the ran...
متن کاملMonotone and Boolean Convolutions for Non-compactly Supported Probability Measures
Abstract. The equivalence of the characteristic function approach and the probabilistic approach to monotone and boolean convolutions is proven for non-compactly supported probability measures. A probabilistically motivated definition of the multiplicative boolean convolution of probability measures on the positive half-line is proposed. Unlike Bercovici’s multiplicative boolean convolution it ...
متن کاملKullback-Leibler Approximation for Probability Measures on Infinite Dimensional Spaces
In a variety of applications it is important to extract information from a probability measure μ on an infinite dimensional space. Examples include the Bayesian approach to inverse problems and (possibly conditioned) continuous time Markov processes. It may then be of interest to find a measure ν, from within a simple class of measures, which approximates μ. This problem is studied in the case ...
متن کاملMarkov kernels, convolution semigroups, and projective families of probability measures
For a measurable space (E,E ), we denote by E+ the set of functions E → [0,∞] that are E → B[0,∞] measurable. It can be proved that if I : E+ → [0,∞] is a function such that (i) f = 0 implies that I(f) = 0, (ii) if f, g ∈ E+ and a, b ≥ 0 then I(af + bg) = aI(f) + bI(g), and (iii) if fn is a sequence in E+ that increases pointwise to an element f of E+ then I(fn) increases to I(f), then there a ...
