A notion of $U$-exponents of a probability measure on a linear space is introduced. These are bounded linear operators and it is shown that the set of all $U$-exponents forms a Lie wedge for full measures on finite-dimensional spaces. This allows the construction of $U$-exponents commuting with the symmetry group of a measure in question. Then the set of all commuting exponents is described and elliptically symmetric measures are characterized in terms of their Fourier transforms. Also, self-decomposable measures are identified among those which are operator-self-decomposable. Finally, $S$-exponents of infinitely divisible measures are discussed.
