Summary: Let \((X_1,Y_1),\dots,(X_m,Y_m)\) be \(m\) independent, identically distributed bivariate vectors and \(L_1 = \beta_1X_1 + \dots + \beta_mX_m\), \(L_2 = \beta_1Y_1 + \dots + \beta_mY_m\) two linear forms with positive coefficients. We study two problems: under what conditions does the equidistribution of \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) imply the same property for \(X_1\) and \(Y_1\), and under what conditions does the independence of \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) entail independence of \(X_1\) and \(Y_1\)? Some analytical sufficient conditions are obtained and it is shown that in general they can not be weakened.
