Abstract
This paper is concerned with the necessary conditions for infinite divisibility of the squares of Gaussian vectors with non-zero means. A Gaussian vector G with zero mean is said to have a critical point alpha0; 0<a0<infinity if the vector ((G1+alpha)2; (G 2+alpha)2, ..) is infinitely divisible for all |alpha| &le; alpha 0 and is not infinitely divisible for all |alpha| > alpha0 . We derive an upper bound for the critical point of a Gaussian n-dimensional vector via the asymptotic analysis of its Laplace transform.
