What are cumulants?
Documenta mathematica, Tome 4 (1999), pp. 601-622
Let P be the set of all probability measures on R possessing moments of every order. Consider P as a semigroup with respect to convolution. After topologizing P in a natural way, we determine all continuous homomorphisms of P into the unit circle and, as a corollary, those into the real line. The latter are precisely the finite linear combinations of cumulants, and from these all the former are obtained via multiplication by i and exponentiation.
