Minlos Theorem and Gaussian Measure Construction #
Uses the proven Minlos theorem from the bochner library to construct Gaussian measures. The bochner library provides:
minlos_theorem: proven via Bochner + Kolmogorov extensionminlos_uniqueness: derived from minlos_theoremIsPositiveDefinite: hermitian + nonneg PD structure (inBochner.PositiveDefinite)
This file bridges between the GFF4D project's GFF4D.IsPositiveDefinite (nonneg only)
and the bochner library's IsPositiveDefinite (hermitian + nonneg), then applies
the proven Minlos theorem.
Main declarations #
minlos_gaussian_construction: Minlos + Gaussian CF → probability measuregaussian_measure_symmetry: covariance-preserving maps induce measure symmetries
GFF4D Positive Definiteness Lemmas #
These use the GFF4D (nonneg-only) notion of positive definiteness.
Gaussian RBF kernel is positive definite on inner product spaces (GFF4D version).
If covariance is realized as a squared norm via a linear embedding T into a real inner product space H, then the Gaussian characteristic functional is positive definite (GFF4D sense).
Bridge lemmas: GFF4D PD → Bochner PD #
The bochner library's IsPositiveDefinite requires both:
hermitian: φ(-x) = conj(φ(x))nonneg: Re(∑ᵢⱼ cbarᵢ cⱼ φ(xᵢ - xⱼ)) ≥ 0
The GFF4D version only requires (2). For the Gaussian CF exp(-½Q(f,f)), hermiticity follows from Q(-f,-f) = Q(f,f) (which must be supplied).
Promote GFF4D's nonneg-only PD to bochner's hermitian+nonneg PD, given an explicit symmetry proof φ(-x) = conj(φ(x)).
The Gaussian RBF kernel is positive definite in the bochner sense. The hermitian condition follows from ‖-h‖ = ‖h‖.
Gaussian CF via embedding is PD in the bochner sense, given Q(-f,-f) = Q(f,f).
Gaussian Characteristic Functional #
For Gaussian measures, the characteristic functional has the special form Φ(f) = exp(-½⟨f, Cf⟩) where C is a nuclear covariance operator.

Minlos Theorem Applications #
Application of Minlos theorem to Gaussian measures.
The measure constructed by Minlos theorem for a Gaussian characteristic functional indeed has that functional as its characteristic function.
Minlos Uniqueness (re-exported from bochner) #
Uniqueness for the Gaussian CF: if two probability measures have the same Gaussian characteristic functional, they are equal.
Symmetry Transfer from Characteristic Functional to Measure #
Corollary for Gaussian measures: if the covariance form is invariant under g, then the Gaussian measure is invariant under the dual action of g.
