Given test vectors f₁,...,fₙ ∈ E, the marginal characteristic function Φ_F(t) = Φ(∑ tᵢfᵢ) is continuous PD on ℝⁿ, so Bochner gives a probability measure μ_F on ℝⁿ. ## Main results - `marginalCF` — the finite-dimensional marginal CF - `marginalCF_continuous` — marginalCF is continuous - `marginalCF_pd` — marginalCF is positive definite - `marginalCF_normalized` — marginalCF(0) = 1 - `marginal_measure_exists` — Bochner gives a probability measure with matching CF -/ import Bochner.Main import Minlos.NuclearSpace open BigOperators MeasureTheory Complex noncomputable section /-! ## Marginal characteristic function -/ /-- The finite-dimensional marginal CF: Φ_F(t) = Φ(∑ tᵢ • fᵢ).

Proof: Each summand `tᵢ • fᵢ` is continuous in t (scalar multiplication by a continuous coordinate projection), and a finite sum of continuous functions is continuous. Then compose with continuous Φ. -/ theorem marginalCF_continuous {E : Type*} [AddCommGroup E] [Module ℝ E] [TopologicalSpace E] [IsTopologicalAddGroup E] [ContinuousSMul ℝ E] (Φ : E → ℂ) {n : ℕ} (f : Fin n → E) (hΦ : Continuous Φ) : Continuous (marginalCF Φ f) := by apply hΦ.comp apply continuous_finset_sum intro i _ exact (EuclideanSpace.proj i).continuous.smul continuous_const /-- Helper: the map t ↦ ∑ tᵢ • fᵢ is linear from EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin n) to E. -/ private def spanLinearMap {E : Type*} [AddCommGroup E] [Module ℝ E] {n : ℕ} (f : Fin n → E) : EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin n) →ₗ[ℝ] E where toFun t := ∑ i, (t i) • f i map_add' s t := by simp only [PiLp.add_apply, add_smul, ← Finset.sum_add_distrib] map_smul' r t := by simp only [PiLp.smul_apply, smul_eq_mul, mul_smul, ← Finset.smul_sum, RingHom.id_apply] /-- The marginal CF is positive definite.
