Positive-definite functions on [0, ∞) × V #
This file records the Berg--Christensen--Ressel semigroup-group positive-definiteness predicate
for functions on ℝ≥0 × V. For an additive group V, the intended involution is
(t, v) ↦ (t, -v), so the finite quadratic forms use the entries
F (tᵢ + tⱼ, vᵢ - vⱼ).
The generic positive-definite-function predicate already captures the finite quadratic-form
condition. Here we name its BCR specialization by using the local wrapper BCRPoint V, whose
involution is (t, v) ↦ (t, -v), rather than installing a global negation StarAddMonoid
instance on every additive group V, which would conflict with Mathlib's ordinary star
conventions. The result is the named hypothesis needed for the BCR Laplace--Fourier
representation target in the OneParameterSemigroups roadmap.
This advances TauCetiRoadmap/OneParameterSemigroups/README.md, Part C, Objects: the roadmap asks
for IsSemigroupGroupPD as the positive-definite predicate on ℝ≥0 × V with involution
(t, a)⋆ = (t, -a).

A function on ℝ≥0 × V is semigroup-group positive definite, in the
Berg--Christensen--Ressel sense, if all finite quadratic forms formed using the involution
(t, v) ↦ (t, -v) are nonnegative:
∑ᵢⱼ cᵢ conj(cⱼ) F(tᵢ + tⱼ, vᵢ - vⱼ) ≥ 0.
