Let $(X_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}^*}$ be a sequence of random variables, mutually independent, with the same distribution taking values in $\mathbb{N}$, and let $T$ be a random variable taking values in $\mathbb{N}$ independent of the previous ones. We denote by $G_X$ the generating function common to all the $X_n$. For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\omega\in\Omega$, we set $S_n(\omega)=\sum_{k=1}^n X_k(\omega)$ and $S_0(\omega)=0$, then $S(\omega)=S_{T(\omega)}(\omega)$.
By admitting that, for all $k\in\mathbb{N}$, $S_k$ is independent of $X_{k+1}$, prove that, for all $k\in\mathbb{N}$, $G_{S_k}=(G_X)^k$.
