Basic facts about moment-generating functions #

This file supplements Mathlib's basic moment-generating-function API.

Main results #

A measure is a probability measure if the moment-generating function of any real-valued statistic equals 1 at zero.

A measure admitting an exponential moment at rate 0 is finite: at rate 0 the integrand is the constant 1, whose integrability is finiteness of the measure.

The moment-generating function of a convolution is the product of the two moment-generating functions. This is the transform companion of MeasureTheory.charFun_conv. No integrability hypothesis is needed, even though Mathlib totalizes a divergent mgf to 0.
