Is there a possibility that $|Corr(X,Y)|=1$ and there's no linear relationship between them?

Let us have $|Corr(X,Y)|=1$.



When is it possible for the variables $X,Y$ not be linearly related?



I would say that they must have infinite moments... But I'm not seeing if that's enough to get the result I want.

          By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, $X$ is a constant multiple of $Y$ in this case.

          • We can use Cauchy-Schwarz only if we have $E(XY)$ finite.
