Multivariate Type $\mathcal{G}$ Distributions

Abstract

The class of multivariate distributions all of whose one-dimensional projections are of type $G$ is discussed and examples of such distributions presented. In the course of this, we introduce a new representation of the cumulant function of the symmetric multivariate stable laws as well as multivariate extensions of the Inverse Gaussian and the symmetric Normal Inverse Gaussian laws. A concept of weak infinite divisibility of random matrices is introduced and this leads to further examples.
