Strictly subgaussian probability distributions

We explore the class of probability distributions on the real line whose Laplace transform admits a strong upper bound of subgaussian type. Using Hadamard’s factorization theorem, we extend the class $\mathfrak{L}$ of Newman and propose new sufficient conditions for this property in terms of location of zeros of the associated characteristic functions in the complex plane. The second part of this note deals with Laplace transforms of strictly subgaussian distributions with periodic components. This subclass contains interesting examples, for which the central limit theorem with respect to the Rényi entropy divergence of infinite order holds.
