Abstract
Let Zi=(Xi, Yi), i=1, n be independent random vectors with E|Z i|2. We describe in terms of characteristic functions the distributions of Zi with the following property: all pairs of uncorrelated linear forms L1=a1X1++a nXn and L2=b1Y1++b nYn depending on the first and second components of Z 1, Zn, respectively, are independent. Although the above property formally concerns the dependence structure of the first and second components only, it imposes strict restrictions on the marginal distributions.
