Title:

Recent results on the moment determinacy of probability distributions

Abstract:

The discussion will be on heavy tailed probability distributions, one- or multi-dimensional, with finite all moments. Either such a distribution is uniquely determined by its moments (M-determinate), or it is nonunique (M-indeterminate). The goal is to try to describe the current state of art in this area. Intriguing open questions will be outlined. The talk will include results of other scientists (C. Berg, A. Pakes, A. DasGupta, A. Gut) and recent results obtained jointly with G.D. Lin, C. Kleiber and A. DasGupta.
