On the infinite divisibility of inverse Beta distributions

We show that all negative powers B_{a,b}^-{s} of the Beta distribution are infinitely divisible. The case b 1, s > 1 by hyperbolically complete monotonicity and the case b > 1, s 1, and that it is not always a generalized Gamma convolution. On the other hand, we prove that all negative powers of the Gamma distribution are generalized Gamma convolutions, answering to a recent question of L. Bondesson.
