Abstract
According to the well-known Heyde theorem Gaussian distribution on the real line is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form in n independent random variables given another. For n = 2 we prove analogs of this theorem in the case when random variables take values in a locally compact Abelian group X, and coefficients of the linear forms are topological automorphisms of the group X.
