Conditional independence among max-stable laws

Abstract

Let X be a max-stable random vector with positive continuous density. It is proved that the conditional independence of any collection of disjoint subvectors of X given the remaining components implies their joint independence. We conclude that a broad class of tractable max-stable models cannot exhibit an interesting Markov structure.
