Abstract

The well-known Cramér-Wold theorem states that a Borel probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$ is uniquely determined by the totality of its one-dimensional projections. In this paper we examine various conditions under which a probability measure is determined by a subset of its $(d - 1)$-dimensional orthogonal projections.
