fulltext Algebra and Discrete Mathematics RESEARCH ARTICLE Number 4. (2006). pp. 40 – 56 c© Journal “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics” Value distribution of general Dirichlet series. VIII A. Laurinčikas Communicated by V. V. Kirichenko Abstract. A joint limit theorem on the complex plane for a new class of general Dirichlet series is proved. 1. Introduction Let s = σ + it be a complex variable, {am : m ∈ N} be a sequence of complex numbers, and let {λm : m ∈ N} be an increasing sequence of positive numbers, lim m→∞ λm = +∞. The series of the form f(s) = ∞∑ m=1 ame−λms (1) is called a general Dirichlet series. If λm = log m, we obtain the ordinary Dirichlet series ∞∑ m=1 am ms . It is well known that the region of convergence as well as of absolute convergence of Dirichlet series is a half-plane. The first probabilistic results for Dirichlet series were obtained by H.Bohr and B.Jessen. In [2] and [3] they proved theorems for the Rie- mann zeta-function which are similar to modern limit theorems in the sense of weak convergence of probability measures. The investigations 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11M41. Key words and phrases: Compact topological group, general Dirichlet series, Haar measure, limit theorem, probability measure, random element, weak convergence. A. Laurinčikas 41 of H.Bohr and B.Jessen were developed and generalized by A. Wint- ner, V.Borchsenius, A.Selberg, P.D.T.A. Elliott, A.Ghosh, K.Matsumoto, B.Bagchi, E.M.Nikishin, E.Stankus, J.Steuding, W.Schwarz, the author and others. The results of such a kind can be found in [7], [8], [14] and [20]. Limit theorems in the sense of weak convergence of probability mea- sures in various spaces for general Dirichlet series were obtained [4]-[6], [10]-[14] and [18], [19]. Limit theorems on the complex plane for gen- eral Dirichlet series were proved in [12]-[14]. Denote by meas{A} the Lebesgue measure of a measurable set A ∈ R, and let, for T > 0, νT (...) = 1 T meas{t ∈ [0, T ] : ...}, where in place of dots a condition satisfied by t is to be written. Moreover, let B(S) be the class of Borel sets of the space S. Denote by γ the unit circle {s ∈ C : |s| = 1} on the complex plane C, and define Ω = ∞∏ m=1 γm, where γm = γ for each m ∈ N. Then the infinite-dimensional torus Ω in view of the Tikhonov theorem is a compact topological Abelian group, therefore the probability Haar measure mH on (Ω,B(Ω)) can be defined. This gives a probability space (Ω,B(Ω), mH). Denote by ω(m) the projection of ω ∈ Ω to the coordinate space γm, m ∈ N. Suppose that the series (1) converges absolutely for σ > σa. Then the function f(s) is analytic in the half-plane {s ∈ C : σ > σa}. Moreover, we require that the function f(s) should be meromorphically continuable to the half-plane {s ∈ C : σ > σ1}, σ1 < σa, all poles being included in a compact set, and that, for σ > σ1, the estimates f(σ + it) ≪ |t|α, α > 0, |t| > t0 > 0, (2) and T∫ −T |f(σ + it)|2 d t ≪ T, T → ∞, (3) should be satisfied. Suppose that the exponents λm satisfy the inequality λm > (log m)δ (4) with some positive δ > 0. Then in [12] it was proved that under the last conditions, for σ > σ1, f(σ, ω) = ∞∑ m=1 amω(m)e−λmσ, 42 Value distribution of general Dirichlet series. VIII is a complex-valued random variable defined on the probability space (Ω,B(Ω), mH). If the system {λm} is linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, then it was obtained in [12] that, for σ > σ1, the probability measure νT ( f(σ + it) ∈ A ) , A ∈ B(C), (6) converges weakly to the distribution of the random variable f(σ, ω) as T → ∞. Condition (4) is rather strong, it limits a class of Dirichlet series for which a limit theorem is true. Suppose that, for σ > σ1, ∞∑ m=1 |am|2e−2λmσlog2m < ∞. (7) Then in [14] the following statement has been obtained. Theorem A. Suppose that the system {λm} is linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, and conditions (2), (3) and (7) are satisfied. Then the probability measure (6) converges weakly to the distribution of the random element f(σ, ω) as T → ∞. In [13] a joint limit theorem on the complex plane for general Dirichlet series was proved. Let, for σ > σaj , fj(s) = ∞∑ m=1 amje −λmjs, where {amj} and {λmj} are a sequence of complex numbers and an in- creasing sequence of positive numbers, lim m→∞ λmj = +∞, respectively, j = 1, ..., r, r > 1. Suppose that the function fj(s) is meromorphically continuable to the region {s ∈ C : σ > σ1j}, σ1j < σaj , j = 1, ..., n, all poles being included in a compact set, and, for σ > σ1j , the estimates fj(σ + it) ≪ |t|αj , αj > 0, |t| > t0 > 0, (8) and T∫ −T |fj(σ + it)|2 d t ≪ T, T → ∞, (9) j = 1, ..., r, are satisfied. Moreover, we assume that λmj = λm, j = 1, ..., r, and λm > c(log m)δ, c > 0, δ > 0. (10) A. Laurinčikas 43 Let C r = C × ... × C︸ ︷︷ ︸ r . On the probability space (Ω,B(Ω), mH) define, for σ1 > σ11, ..., σr > σ1r, an C r-valued random element F = F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) by F = F (σ1, ..., σr, ω) = (f1(σ1, ω), ..., fn(σr, ω)) , where fj(σj , ω) = ∞∑ m=1 amjω(m)e−λmσj , ω ∈ Ω. Theorem B [13]. Suppose that the system {λm} is linearly indepen- dent over the field of rational numbers, and that conditions (8)-(10) are satisfied. Then the probability PT (A) def = νT ( (f1(σ1 + it), ..., fr(σr + it)) ∈ A ) , A ∈ B(Cr), for σ1 > σ1j , ..., σr > σ1r, converges weakly to the distribution of the random element F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) as T → ∞. The aim of this note is to change condition (10) in Theorem B by a weaker one and to consider a general case of different exponents λmj . Therefore, for the proof we will apply a method different from that of [13]. Suppose that, for σj > σ1j , ∞∑ m=1 |amj | 2e−2λmjσj log2m < ∞, j = 1, ..., r. (11) Moreover, define Ωr = Ω1 × ... × Ωr where Ωj = Ω for j = 1, ..., r. Then Ωr is also a compact topological Abelian group. Denote by mHr the probability Haar measure on (Ωr,B(Ωr)). In the next section it will be proved that, under condition (11), for σ1 > σ11, ..., σr > σ1r, F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) = (f1(σ1, ω1), ..., fr(σr, ωr)), where fj(σj , ωj) = ∞∑ m=1 amjωj(m)e−λmjσj , ωj ∈ Ωj , j = 1, ..., r, ω = (ω1, ..., ωr), is a C n-valued random element defined on the probability space (Ωr,B(Ωr), mHr). Theorem 1. Suppose that the set r⋃ j=1 ∞⋃ m=1 {λmj} is linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, and that conditions (8), (9) and (11) 44 Value distribution of general Dirichlet series. VIII are satisfied. Then the probability measure PT converges weakly to the distribution of the random element F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) as T → ∞. Note that joint limit theorems can be used to derive the joint univer- sality for considered functions, see, for example, [16] and [17]. 2. The random element F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) In this section we will prove that, under condition (11), F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) is a C r-valued random element. For the proof, we will apply a Rademacher’s theorem on series of pairwise orthogonal random variables. Denote by Eξ the expectation of the random element ξ. Lemma 2.[20] Suppose that {Xn} is a sequence of orthogonal random variables such that ∞∑ m=1 E|Xm|2log2m < ∞. Then the series ∞∑ m=1 Xm converges almost surely. Theorem 3. Suppose that condition (11) holds. Then F (σ1, ..., σr; ω), for σ1 > σ11, ..., σr > σ1r, is a C r-valued random element defined on the probability space (Ω,B(Ω), mHr). Proof. Clearly, it suffices to prove that, for each j = 1, ..., r, fj(σj , ω) = ∞∑ m=1 amjω(m)e−λmjσj , ω ∈ Ω, for σj > σ1j , is a complex-valued random variable on the probability space (Ω,B(Ω), mH). We fix j ∈ {1, ..., r}. Let σ > σ1j be fixed, and ξmj = ξmj(ω) = amjω(m)e−λmjσ. Then {ξmj} is a sequence of pairwise orthogonal complex-valued random variables defined on the probability space (Ω,B(Ω), mH). Really, denot- ing by z the complex conjugate of z ∈ C, we find E(ξmj , ξkj) = ∫ Ω ξmj(ω)ξkj(ω)dmH = amjakje −(λmj+λkj)σ ∫ Ω ω(m)ω(k)dmH = { 0 if m 6= k, |amj | 2e−2λmjσ if m = k. A. Laurinčikas 45 Since σ > σ1j , hence we have in view of (11) that ∞∑ m=1 E|ξmj | 2log2m < ∞. This and Lemma 2 show that the series ∞∑ m=1 ξmj = ∞∑ m=1 amjω(m)e−λmjσ = f(σ, ω) (12) converges almost surely with respect the Haar measure mH . Then ( ∞∑ m=1 am1ω1(m)e−λm1σ1 , ..., ∞∑ m=1 amrωr(m)e−λmrσr ) converges almost surely in C r, and this proves the theorem. We note that mHr = mH × ... × mH︸ ︷︷ ︸ r . 3. Joint limit theorems for Dirichlet polynomials We start with a joint limit theorem on the torus Ωr. Define the probability measure QT,r(A) = νT (( (eitλm1 : m ∈ N), ..., (eitλmr : m ∈ N) ) ∈ A ) . Lemma 4. The probability measure QT,r converges weakly to the Haar measure mHr on (Ωr,B(Ωr)) as T → ∞. Proof. The dual group of Ωr is r⊕ j=1 ∞⊕ m=1 Zmj , where Zmj = Z for all m ∈ N and j = 1, ..., r. (k1, ..., kr) = (k11, k21, ..., k1r, k2r, ...) ∈ r⊕ j=1 ∞⊕ m=1 Zmj , where only a finite number of integers kmj , m ∈ N, j = 1, ..., r, are distinct from zero, acts on Ωr by (x1, ..., xr) → (x k 1 1 , ..., x kr r ) = r∏ j=1 ∞∏ m=1 x kmj mj , xj = (x1j , x2j , ...), xmj ∈ γ, 46 Value distribution of general Dirichlet series. VIII m ∈ N, j = 1..., r. Therefore, the Fourier transform gT,r(k1, ..., kr) of the measure QT,r is gT,r(k1, ..., kr) = ∫ Ωr r∏ j=1 ∞∏ m=1 x kmj mj dQT,r = 1 T ∫ T 0 r∏ j=1 ∞∏ m=1 eitkmjλmj d t = 1 T ∫ T 0 exp{it r∑ j=1 ∞∑ m=1 kmjλmj}d t. Since the set ⋃r j=1 ⋃ ∞ m=1{λmj} is linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, hence we find that gT,r(k1, ..., kr) =    1 if (k1, ..., kr) = (0, ..., 0), exp { iT r∑ j=1 ∞∑ m=1 kmjλmj } −1 iT r∑ j=1 ∞∑ m=1 kmjλmj if (k1, ..., kr) 6= (0, ..., 0). Therefore, lim T→∞ gT,r(k1, ..., kr) = { 1 if (k1, ..., kr) = (0, ..., 0), 0 if (k1, ..., kr) 6= (0, ..., 0). This and continuity theorems for probability measures on compact groups [7] show that the probability measure QT,r converges weakly to the Haar measure mHr as T → ∞. Let σ2j > σaj − σ1j , and, for m, n ∈ N, vj(m, n) = exp{−e(λm−λn)σ2j}, j = 1, ..., r. Define, for Nj ∈ N, σj > σ1j and ω̂j ∈ Ω, fNj ,j,n(σj + it) = Nj∑ m=1 amjvj(m, n)e−λmj(σj+it), fNj ,j,n(σj + it, ω̂j) = Nj∑ m=1 amjω̂j(m)vj(m, n)e−λmj(σj+it), j = 1, ..., r, and consider the weak convergence of the probability measures PT,N1,...,Nr,n(A) = νT ( (fN1,1,n(σ1 + it), ..., fNr,r,n(σr + it) ) ∈ A and P̂T,N1,...,Nr ,n(A) = νT ( (fN1,1,n(σ1 + it, ω̂1), ..., fNr,r,n(σr + it, ω̂r) ) ∈ A, A. Laurinčikas 47 where (ω̂1, ..., ω̂r) ∈ Ωr and A ∈ B(Cr). Theorem 5. The probability measures PT,N1,...,Nr ,n and P̂T,N1,...,Nr,n both converge weakly to the same probability measure on (Cr,B(Cr)) as T → ∞. Proof. Let a function h : Ωr → C r be given by h(ω1, ..., ωr) = ( N1∑ m=1 am1v(m, n)e−λm1σ1ω−1 1 (m), ..., Nr∑ m=1 amrv(m, n)e−λmrσrω−1 r (m) ) , (ω1, ..., ωr) ∈ Ωr. Then, clearly, h ( (eitλm1 : m ∈ N), ..., (eitλmr : m ∈ N) ) = ( fN1,1,n(σ1 + it), ..., fNr,r,n(σr + it) ) def = fN1,...,Nr ,n(σ1, ..., σr; t), and the function h is continuous. Therefore, PT,N1,...,Nr,n = QT,rh −1, and by Theorem 5.1 of [1] and Lemma 4 the probability measure PT,N1,...,Nr,n converges weakly to mHrh −1 as T → ∞. Now let h1 : Ωr → Ωr be defined by the formula h1(ω1, ..., ωr) = (ω1ω̂ −1 1 , ..., ωrω̂ −1 r ). Then we have that ( fN1,1,n(σ1 + it, ω̂1), ..., fNr,1,n(σr + it, ω̂r) ) = h ( h1 ( (eitλm1 : m ∈ N), ..., (eitλmr : m ∈ N) )) . Similarly to the case of the measure PT,N1,...,Nr,n we obtain that the proba- bility measure PT,N1,...,Nr,n converges weakly to the measure mHr(hh1) −1 as T → ∞. The Haar measure mHr is invariant with respect to transla- tions by points from Ωr. Therefore, mHr(hh1) −1 = (mHrh −1 1 )h−1 = mHrh −1, and the theorem is proved. 48 Value distribution of general Dirichlet series. VIII 4. Limit theorems for absolutely convergent series Define, for ωj ∈ Ω and j = 1, ..., r, fn,j(s) = ∞∑ m=1 amjvj(m, n)e−λmjs and fn,j(s, ωj) = ∞∑ m=1 amjωj(m)vj(m, n)e−λmjs. Then the latter series both converge absolutely for σ > σ1j . The proof of this is given in [12], Lemma 4. In this section we consider the weak convergence of the probability measures PT,n(A) = νT ( ((fn,1(σ1 + it), ..., fn,r(σr + it)) ∈ A ) , A ∈ B(Cr), and P̂T,n(A) = νT ( ((fn,1(σ1 + it, ω1), ..., fn,r(σr + it, ωr)) ∈ A ) , A ∈ B(Cr). Theorem 6. Let σj > σ1j, j = 1, ..., r. Then there exists a probability measure Pn on (Cr,B(C)) such that the measures PT,n and P̂T,n both converge weakly to Pn as T → ∞. Proof. We will apply Theorem 5. Without loss of generality we take N1 = ... = Nr def = N . Then by Theorem 5 the mea- sures PT,N1,...,Nr ,n def = PT,N,n and P̂T,N1,...,Nr,n def = P̂T,N,n both converge weakly to the same measure PN,n, say, as T → ∞. First we will prove that the family of probability measures {PN,n} is tight for fixed n. Let η be a random variable defined on a certain probability space (Ω̂,F , P) and uniformly distributed on [0, 1], and let, for j = 1, ..., r, XT,N,j,n = XT,N,j,n(σj) = fN,j,n(σj + iTη). Then we have that XT,N,n def = ( XT,N,1,n, ..., XT,N,r,n ) D −→ T→∞ XN,n, (12) where XN,n is a C r-valued random element with distribution PN,n, and D −→ means the convergence in distribution. Let z1 = (z11, ..., z1r), z2 = (z21, ..., z2r) ∈ C r. Define a metric ρ in C r by A. Laurinčikas 49 ρ(z1, z2) = ( r∑ j=1 |z1j − z2j | 2 ) 1 2 . Then, clearly, this metric induces the topology of C r. Since the series for fn,j converges absolutely for σ > σ1j , j = 1, ..., r, we obtain, for M > 0, lim sup T→∞ P ( ρ(XT,N,n, 0) > M ) 6 6 1 M sup N>1 lim sup T→∞ 1 T T∫ 0 ρ ( f N,n (σ1, ..., σr; t), 0 ) d t = = 1 M sup N>1 lim sup T→∞ 1 T ∫ T 0 ( r∑ j=1 |fN,j,n(σj + it)|2 ) 1 2 d t 6 6 1 M sup N>1 lim sup T→∞ ( 1 T r∑ j=1 ∫ T 0 |fN,j,n(σj + it)|2 d t ) 1 2 = = 1 M sup N>1 ( r∑ j=1 N∑ m=1 |amj | 2v2 j (m, n)e−2λmjσj ) 1 2 6 R < ∞, (13) where f N,n (σ1, ..., σr; t) = ( fN,1,n(σ1 + it), ..., fN,r,n(σr + it) ) . Now we take M = Rǫ−1, where ǫ is an arbitrary positive number. Then (13) yields lim sup T→∞ P ( ρ(XT,N,n, 0) > M ) 6 ε. This and (12) imply the inequality P ( ρ(XT,N,n, 0) > M ) 6 ε. (14) Now we define Kǫ = {z ∈ C r : ρ(z, 0) 6 M}. Then, obviously, Kǫ is a compact subset of the space C r. In view of (14) and of the definition of PN,n PN,n(Kǫ) > 1 − ǫ 50 Value distribution of general Dirichlet series. VIII for all N ∈ N. This shows that the tightness of the family {PN,n}. Hence, by the Prokhorov theorem, see, for example, [1], the latter family is relatively compact. By the definition of fn,j(s) and fN,n,j(s), for σ > σ1j , lim N→∞ fN,j,n(s) = fn,j(s), j = 1, ..., r, and the series for fn,j(s) absolutely converges. Therefore, denoting f n (σ1, ..., σr; t) = ( fn,1(σ1 + it), ..., fn,r(σr + it) ) , we have, for every ǫ > 0 and σj > σ1j , j = 1, ..., r, that lim N→∞ lim sup T→∞ ν ( ρ(f N,n (σ1, ..., σr; t), fn (σ1, ..., σr; t)) > ǫ ) 6 6 lim N→∞ lim sup T→∞ 1 ǫT ∫ T 0 ρ(f N,n (σ1, ..., σr; t), fn (σ1, ..., σr; t)) d t = 0. (15) Define, for σj > σ1j , XT,j,n = XT,n(σj) = fn,j(σj + iTη), j = 1, ..., r, and put XT,n = ( XT,1,n, ..., XT,r,n ) . Then by (15) lim N→∞ lim sup T→∞ P ( ρ(XT,N,n, XT,n) > ǫ ) = 0. (16) The family {PN,n} is relatively compact. Therefore, there exists a sub- sequence {PN ′,n} ⊂ {PN,n} which converges weakly to the probability measure Pn, say, as N ′ → ∞. Then XN ′,n D −→ N ′ →∞ Pn. (17) The space C r is separable. Therefore, (12), (16) and (17) show that the conditions of Theorem 4.2 from [1] are satisfied. Consequently, XT,n D −→ T→∞ Pn, (18) i.e. the measure PT,n converges weakly to the probability measure Pn on (Cr,B(Cr)) as T → ∞. In view of (18), the measure Pn is independent of the subsequence {PN ′,n}. Therefore, by (17) XN,n D −→ N→∞ Pn. (19) A. Laurinčikas 51 Now, repeating the above arguments for the random elements X̂T,N,n = ( X̂T,N,1,n, ..., X̂T,N,r,n ) and X̂T,n = ( X̂T,1,n, ..., X̂T,r,n ) , where X̂T,N,j,n = X̂T,N,j,n(σj , ωj) = fN,j,n(σj + iTη, ωj), j = 1, ..., r, X̂T,j,n = X̂T,j,n(σj , ωj) = fj,n(σj + iTη, ωj), j = 1, ..., r, and taking into account (19), we obtain that the probability measure P̂T,n also converges weakly to Pn as T → ∞. The theorem is proved. 5. Approximation in the mean To pass from the functions fn,j(s) to fj(s) we need an approximation in the mean of f1(s), ..., fr(s) and of f1(s, ω1), ..., fr(s, ωr) by fn,1(s), ..., fn,r(s) and by fn,1(s, ω1), ..., fn,r(s, ωr), respectively. Let f(σ1, ..., σr; t) = ( f1(σ1 + it), ..., fr(σr + it) ) , and f(σ1, ..., σr; t, ω) = ( f1(σ1 + it, ω1), ..., fr(σr + it, ωr) ) , f n (σ1, ..., σr; t, ω) = ( fn,1(σ1 + it, ω1), ..., fn,r(σr + it, ωr) ) . Theorem 7. Let σj > σ1j, j = 1, ..., r. Then lim N→∞ lim sup T→∞ 1 T ∫ T 0 ρ(f(σ1, ..., σr; t), fn (σ1, ..., σr; t)) d t = 0 and lim N→∞ lim sup T→∞ 1 T ∫ T 0 ρ(f(σ1, ..., σr; t, ω), f n (σ1, ..., σr; t, ω)) d t = 0 for almost all (ω1, ..., ωr). Proof. Suppose that the function f(s) satisfies the conditions of The- orem A, and for σ > σ1, fn(s) = ∞∑ m=1 amv(m, n)e−λms, 52 Value distribution of general Dirichlet series. VIII fn(s, ω) = ∞∑ m=1 amω(m)v(m, n)e−λms, where v(m, n) = exp{−e−(λn−λm)σ2} with σ2 > σa − σ1, and ω ∈ Ω. Then in [12] it was obtained that, for σ > σ1, lim N→∞ lim sup T→∞ 1 T ∫ T 0 |f(σ + it) − fn(σ + it)|d t = 0 and lim N→∞ lim sup T→∞ 1 T ∫ T 0 |f(σ + it, ω) − fn(σ + it, ω)|d t = 0 for almost all ω ∈ Ω. Since ρ(z1, z2) 6 r∑ j=1 |z1j − z2j |, hence the theorem follows. 6. Joint limit theorems for fj(s) and fj(s, ω) In this section we begin to prove Theorem 1. We will prove limit theorems for the vectors f(σ1, ..., σr; t) and f(σ1, ..., σr; t, ω) defined in Section 5. Theorem 8. Let σj > σ1j, j = 1, ..., r. Then the probability measures PT and P̂T (A) = νT ( f(σ1, ..., σr; t, ω) ∈ A ) , A ∈ B(Cr), both converge weakly to the same probability measure on (Cr,B(Cr)) as T → ∞. Proof. We argue similarly to the proof of Theorem 6. By Theorem 6 the probability measures PT,n and P̂T,n converge weakly to the same measure Pn on (Cr,B(Cr)) as T → ∞. We will show that the family of probability measures {Pn : n ∈ N} is tight. For this, we will preserve the notation of previous sections. By Theorem 6 XT,n D −→ T→∞ Xn, (20) where Xn is a C r-valued random element with distribution Pn. Since the series (11) converges and the series for each fn,j converges absolutely, we A. Laurinčikas 53 have, for M > 0, lim sup T→∞ P ( ρ(XT,n, 0) > M ) 6 6 1 M sup n>1 lim sup T→∞ 1 T T∫ 0 ρ ( f n (σ1, ..., σr; t), 0 ) d t = = 1 M sup n>1 lim sup T→∞ 1 T ∫ T 0 ( r∑ j=1 |fn,j(σj + it)|2 ) 1 2 d t 6 6 1 M sup n>1 lim sup T→∞ ( 1 T r∑ j=1 ∫ T 0 |fn,j(σj + it)|2 d t ) 1 2 = = 1 M sup n>1 ( r∑ j=1 ∞∑ m=1 |amj | 2v2 j (m, n)e−2λmjσj ) 1 2 6 6 1 M ( r∑ j=1 ∞∑ m=1 |amj | 2e−2λmjσj ) 1 2 6 R < ∞. Hence, taking M = Rǫ−1, we find that lim sup T→∞ P ( ρ(XT,n, 0) > M ) 6 ǫ. Consequently, in view of (20) P ( ρ(Xn, 0) > M ) 6 ǫ. This shows that Pn(Kǫ) > 1 − ǫ for all n ∈ N, i.e. the family {Pn} is tight. Hence, by the Prokhorov theorem, it is relatively compact. Therefore, there exists a subsequence {Pn1 } ⊂ {Pn} which converges weakly to the probability measure P , say, on (Cr,B(Cr)) as n1 → ∞. Then Xn1 D −→ n1→∞ P. (21) Let, for σj > σ1j XT,j = XT,j(σj) = fj(σj + iTη), j = 1, ..., r, and XT = ( XT,1, ..., XT,r ) . 54 Value distribution of general Dirichlet series. VIII Then by the first assertion of Theorem 7 lim n→∞ lim sup T→∞ P ( ρ(XT,n, XT ) > ǫ ) 6 lim n→∞ lim sup T→∞ 1 ǫT ∫ T 0 ρ ( f n (σ1, ..., σr; t), f(σ1, ..., σr; t) ) = 0. This, (20), (21) and Theorem 4.2 of [1] show that XT D −→ T→∞ P. (23) Now let, for σj > σ1j , X̂T,j = X̂T,j(σj) = fj(σj + iTη, ωj), j = 1, ..., r, and X̂T = (X̂T,1, ..., X̂T,r). Then, reasoning similarly as above for the vectors X̂T,n and X̂T , and using (23) and the second assertion of Theorem 7, we obtain that the probability measure P̂T also converges to P as T → ∞. The theorem is proved. 7. Proof of Theorem 1 It remains to identify the limit measure P in Theorem 8. For this, we will apply some elements of the ergodic theory. Let at,j = {e−iλmjt : m ∈ N} for t ∈ R, j = 1, ..., r. Then, for each j, {at,j : t ∈ R} is a one–parameter group. We define the one–parameter family {ϕt,j : t ∈ R} of transformations on Ωj by ϕt,j = at,jωj for ωj ∈ Ωj , j = 1, ..., r. Then we obtain a one parameter group {ϕt,j : t ∈ R} of measurable transformations on Ωj , j = 1, ..., r. Define {Φt : t ∈ R} = {ϕt,1 : t ∈ R} × ... × {ϕt,r : t ∈ R}. Then {Φt : t ∈ R} is a one-parameter group of measurable transformations on Ωr. Lemma 9. The one-parameter group {Φt : t ∈ R} is ergodic. Proof. In [18] it was proved that {ϕt,j : t ∈ R} for each j = 1, ..., r is an ergodic one–parameter group. Hence the lemma follows. Proof of Theorem 1. Let A ∈ B(Cr) be a continuity set of the measure P in Theorem 8. Then, by Theorem 10, for σ1 > σ11, ..., σr > σ1r, lim T→∞ νT ( f(σ1, ..., σr; t, ω) ∈ A ) = P (A) (24) A. Laurinčikas 55 for almost all ω ∈ Ωr. Now we fix the set A and define a random variable θ on (Ωr,B(Ωr), mHr) by θ(ω) = { 1 if F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) ∈ A, 0 if F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) /∈ A. Then E(θ) = ∫ Ωr θdmHr = mHr ( ω ∈ Ω : F (σ1, ..., σr; ω) ∈ A ) def = PF is the distribution of the random element F . Since by Lemma 9 the one– parameter group {Φt : t ∈ R} is ergodic, the random process θ(Φt(ω)) is also ergodic. Therefore, by the Birkkhoff-Khinchine theorem lim T→∞ 1 T ∫ T 0 θ(Φt(ω)) d t = E(θ) (26) for almost all ω ∈ Ωr. The definitions of θ and of {Φt : t ∈ R} yield 1 T ∫ T 0 θ(Φt(ω)) d t = νT ( f(σ1, ..., σr; t, ω) ∈ A ) . Hence and from (25), (26), we deduce that lim T→∞ νT ( f(σ1, ..., σr; t, ω) ) = PF (A) for almost all ω ∈ Ωr. Consequently, by (24) P (A) = PF (A) for any continuity set A of the measure P . It is well known that all continuity sets constitute the determining class. Therefore, P (A) = PF (A) for all A ∈ B(Cr), and the theorem is proved. References [1] P.
