Given the following two R.V.s $$z_1 = \frac{x_1}{|x_1|^2 + |x_2|^2 + \cdots + |x_M|^2}$$ and $$z_2 = \frac{x_2}{|x_1|^2 + |x_2|^2 + \cdots + |x_M|^2}$$ where $x_i \sim \mathcal{CN}(0,a), \forall i$ and $a > 0$. As can be seen, the denominator follows a Chi-square distribution with $2M$ degrees of freedom as $x_i$ are i.i.d. R.V.s. Based on these results [(1)][1] and [(2)][2] and on the observation that for $𝑀>5$ the real and imaginary parts of $z_i \forall i$ are normally distributed with mean equal to $0,$ can we say that $z_{1}$ and $z_2$ are independent?
