Abstract
We show that the class of convolution equivalent distributions and the class of locally subexponential distributions are not closed under convolution roots. It gives a negative answer to the classical conjectures of Embrechts and Goldie. Moreover, we establish two sufficient conditions in order that the class of convolution equivalent distributions is closed under convolution roots.
