Nov 10, 2021 at 2:41 comment added Vincent Granville Time permitting, I will compute more exact moments in the easy case $a_k=1/b^k$. Despite being the easy case, when $b>2$, the limiting distribution is awkward.

Nov 9, 2021 at 3:09 comment added Vincent Granville Another interesting fact, is that obviously my formula for the 4-th and 6-th moment (assuming it is correct) must yield a positive value, which in turn means that it could result in new inequalities involving rather generic $a_k$'s as the derivation would apply to a very large class of $a_k$'s.

Nov 8, 2021 at 21:18 comment added Vincent Granville Thank you. I slightly updated my question (no need to change anything to your great answer) as the case $a_k=1/2^k$ is not what I intended to write (your answer is correct) but the case $a_k=1/3^k$, which leads to the Cantor set mentioned in my question.
