Continuity of positive-definite functions #
This file records the standard continuity upgrade for positive-definite functions on a seminormed
additive group with the negation involution. A positive-definite function that is continuous at
the origin is uniformly continuous. The file also records the local estimates
‖F x - F y‖² ≤ 2 F(0).re ((F 0).re - (F (x + star y)).re) and
‖F x - F y‖² ≤ 2 F(0).re ‖F (x + star y) - F 0‖ at points satisfying
x + star x = 0 and y + star y = 0, together with their specializations to additive groups
whose involution is negation.
This advances Part C of the OneParameterSemigroups roadmap, whose positive-definite-function
API asks for the basic fact "continuity at 0 ⇒ uniform continuity" before Bochner's theorem.
