The Matsumoto--Yor Property and Its Converse on Symmetric Cones
Abstract
The Matsumoto--Yor (MY) property of the generalized inverse Gaussian and gamma distributions has many generalizations. As it was observed in (Letac and Wesołowski in Ann Probab 28:1371--1383, 2000) the natural framework for the multivariate MY property is symmetric cones; however they prove their results for the cone of symmetric positive definite real matrices only. In this paper, we prove the converse to the symmetric cone-variate MY property, which extends some earlier results. The smoothness assumption for the densities of respective variables is reduced to the continuity only. This enhancement was possible due to the new solution of a related functional equation for real functions defined on symmetric cones.
