Abstract

A generalization of a theorem of Geman and Horowitz concerning random measures is obtained. Their theorem in turn is used to extend a well-known result of Lumley, which asserts that for homogeneous turbulence in an incompressible fluid the probability distributions of the Eulerian and Lagrangian velocities coincide with each other at all times.
