The spatial Bochner measures of a Berg--Christensen--Ressel positive-definite function #
Let F be a bounded continuous positive-definite function on the involutive semigroup
ℝ≥0 × V, with V a finite-dimensional real inner-product space. Freezing the time variable
leaves the continuous positive-definite function F (t, ·) on V, so Bochner's theorem produces
a finite measure bochnerMeasure (F (t, ·)) on V. The Berg--Christensen--Ressel representation
F (t, a) = ∫ (p, q), exp (-t p) * exp (-2πi⟪a, q⟫) ∂μ prescribes exactly these measures as the
spatial slices of μ (TauCeti.representsLaplaceFourier_iff_forall_spatialSlice_eq), so the
existence half of the representation is the problem of realizing the family t ↦ bochnerMeasure (F (t, ·)) as the Laplace-weighted slices of a single measure on ℝ≥0 × V.
This file develops the time regularity of that family, which is what a Bernstein-type argument
consumes. The input is the alternating time-difference positivity of Time/Difference.lean: for
every step h, the function (t, v) ↦ F (t, v) - F (t + h, v) is again bounded, continuous and
positive definite. Bochner's theorem is additive, so the Bochner measure of a time slice splits
as the Bochner measure of that difference plus the Bochner measure of the translated slice. Three
consequences follow.
- The family decreases in time, so each slab mass
t ↦ (bochnerMeasure (F (t, ·))).real Bis antitone and bounded by(F (0, 0)).re. - Each slab mass is continuous: a decrease of the mass of
Bbetween two times is dominated by the decrease of the total mass, which is the continuous functiont ↦ (F (t, 0)).re. - Every mixed alternating difference of a slab mass is nonnegative, since it is again the mass of
Bunder the Bochner measure of the corresponding list time difference ofF.
Together the last two say that each slab mass is a bounded continuous function on [0,∞) all of
whose alternating finite differences have the sign (-1)ⁿ, the hypothesis of the
Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem in its difference form. The reverse reading is already
available for a function that is represented
(TauCeti.RepresentsLaplaceFourier.representsLaplace_bochnerMeasure).

Splitting a time slice along a time difference. For a bounded continuous
Berg--Christensen--Ressel positive-definite function F, the Bochner measure of the slice at
time t is the Bochner measure of the slice of the time difference F (·, ·) - F (· + h, ·)
plus the Bochner measure of the slice at time t + h. This is Bochner additivity applied to the
decomposition F (t, a) = (F (t, a) - F (t + h, a)) + F (t + h, a), both summands being
continuous positive-definite functions on V.
The Bochner measures of the time slices decrease in time. Each step forward in time removes the Bochner measure of the corresponding time difference, which is a measure.
The mass a fixed measurable set receives from the Bochner measures of the time slices decreases in time.
The spatial Bochner measures are absolutely continuous with respect to the one at time
0. They decrease in time, and the time-0 measure dominates them all.
The spatial Bochner measure at time t is the time-0 one weighted by a Radon--Nikodym
derivative. These derivatives are the densities that the existence half of the
Berg--Christensen--Ressel representation must realize.
The total mass of the Bochner measure of the time slice at t is (F (t, 0)).re.
Every slab mass of the family of Bochner measures is bounded by (F (0, 0)).re.
The slab masses form a bounded family. Every value of the slab mass lies in the interval
[0, (F (0, 0)).re], so its range is bounded; this is the boundedness hypothesis of the
Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem.
The slab masses lose no more than the total mass. Between two times the mass of a
measurable set B drops by at most the drop of the total mass, because the mass of Bᶜ also
drops.
The slab masses are continuous in time. The variation of the mass of B is dominated by
the variation of the total mass t ↦ (F (t, 0)).re, which is continuous because F is.
Mixed forward differences of a slab mass are slab masses. The mixed forward difference
along l of t ↦ (bochnerMeasure (F (t, ·))).real B, corrected by the sign (-1)^|l|, is the
mass of B under the Bochner measure of the corresponding list time difference of F.
Spatial Bochner slice masses are completely monotone in the finite-difference sense.
After extending the time parameter from ℝ≥0 to ℝ by Real.toNNReal, every slab
mass has nonnegative alternating mixed forward differences on [0, ∞).
