Abstract
We consider a real random vector X with cumulant generating function ψX, non-singular covariance matrix and zero expectation and prove that a principal component transformation of X is the Jacobian at the origin of a Morse-transformation for ψX. Subsequently, a similar result is stated removing the nondegeneracy assumption. Finally, we discuss the possibility to apply our results in a statistical framework.
