A characterization of the Gaussian distribution in a Hilbert space

Jeffrey Lynn Spielman

Vol. 68 (1977), No. 2, 497–505
Abstract

In this paper we consider the case in which random variables Xj take values in a real, separable Hilbert space . We look at a linear form AjXj where each Aj is a bounded linear operator in . We then assume that this linear form is identically distributed with a monomial and form conditions under which it is possible to deduce that the common distribution of the random variables is the Gaussian distribution.
