Spherical uniformity and some characterizations of the Cauchy distribution

TLDR
In this article, a fixed line L (in Rn) and a uniform distribution of points (c) on the unit sphere, L(tc), the point of intersection of L and the hyperplane P · c = 0, is shown to have a Cauchy distribution.

On the theory of elliptically contoured distributions

TL;DR: The theory of elliptically contoured distributions is presented in an unrestricted setting, with no moment restrictions or assumptions of absolute continuity as mentioned in this paper, where the distributions are defined parametrically through their characteristic functions and then studied primarily through the use of stochastic representations which naturally follow from the work of Schoenberg on spherically symmetric distributions.

Isotropy and Sphericity: Some Characterisations of the Normal Distribution

Gérard Letac
- 01 Mar 1981 - 
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Euclidean random variables are normal if n = 2 and n = 3, and the case of Hilbert spaces is studied in the case n = 4.

On the laws of cauchy and gauss

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived some interesting general properties possessed by the class of distribution laws and deduced a characterization of the normal distribution under some conditions on the distribution function $F(x)$.
