Abstract
Connections between charge balance functions, charge fluctuations, and correlations are presented. It is shown that charge fluctuations can be directly expressed in terms of balance functions under certain assumptions. The distortion of charge balance functions due to experimental acceptance is discussed and the effects of identical boson interference is illustrated with a simple model.
