Abstract

In a recent book, Parthasarathy provides limit theorems for sums of independent random variables defined on a metrizable locally compact abelian group. These results make heavy use of the metric assumption. This paper consists of a reworking of certain results contained in Parthasarathy to see what can be done without the metric restriction. Among the topics considered are: necessary and sufficient conditions for a limit law to have an idempotent factor; the relationship between limits of compound Poisson laws and limits of sums of independent random variables; and a representation theorem for certain limit laws.
