THE IDEA

Abstract

For symmetric nondegenerate real variables with all real exponential moments, the manuscript gives Fourier and Hankel existence criteria for an independent conjugate with reciprocal characteristic function. It constructs pairs from polynomials positive on the nonnegative axis using Laplace smoothing and Gaussian-polynomial realization; historical priority remains subject to the stated comparison gaps.

SMALL CONTEXT. USEFUL INSIGHTS.

Takeaways

Raw ↗
# Concise takeaways - Under symmetry, nondegeneracy and all real exponential moments, 1/M_U has automatic exponential decay. Its inverse Fourier transform is a conjugate density exactly when nonnegative everywhere; normalization still needs the Gaussian-regularization argument. - The Hankel criterion requires both matrix families at every size. Local moment bounds supply an exponential moment, then analytic continuation of M_U(z)phi_V(z)-1 gives the identity along the whole real axis. - For P(0)=1 and P>0 on [0,infinity), first choose sufficiently large b, then sufficiently large tau depending on b. Laplace convolution controls global positivity of the reciprocal density; a finite Gaussian-derivative formula controls the original density. - A finite negative Fourier or Hankel certificate can exclude existence. Finite positive tests alone do not prove the infinite criterion. - Mean-value reuse for entire functions requires the stated interchange/integrability condition. Exclusion of the cited D_P class uses its external theorem; novelty is not independently established here.
