Independence preservation property through web geometry
[ Abstract ]
The subclass [2:2] of quadrirational Yang–Baxter maps on (0,∞)² contains three involutions H⁺_I, H⁺_II, and H^A_III. The central object of study is the independence-preserving property: given a map F with F(X,Y) = (U,V), one seeks all distributions of an independent pair (X,Y) for which (U,V) is again an independent pair. This property stands in direct analogy with classical characterisation theorems — the Kac–Bernstein and Lukacs theorems, and the Matsumoto–Yor property — in which the independence of a prescribed transformation characterises a specific family of distributions. A uniform derivation of the complete characterisation for all three maps is obtained via the theory of planar webs: a Jacobian identity common to all three maps reduces the problem to the determination of Abelian relations of a planar 4-web, whereupon Bol's bound and an explicit basis of three relations yield the full three-parameter families — the generalised beta-prime laws for H⁺_I, the Kummer laws for H⁺_II, and the generalised inverse Gaussian laws for H^A_III.
