Fourier-convention characteristic functions #

Mathlib's characteristic function of a finite measure is t ↦ ∫ x, exp (⟪x, t⟫ * I) ∂μ, while the Fourier side of the Bochner roadmap uses the convention a ↦ ∫ q, exp (-2πi⟪a, q⟫) ∂μ. This file records the conversion between these normalizations and then reuses the existing characteristic-function API to show that the Fourier-convention transform of a finite measure is continuous and positive definite.

The file also bridges Mathlib's Fourier transform 𝓕 to the Fourier atom, and it carries the measure-uniqueness theorem — the uniqueness half of Bochner's theorem — consumed by BochnerTheorem.lean. The convention-free continuity of 𝓕 and 𝓕⁻ lives in TauCeti.Analysis.Fourier.Continuous.

This advances TauCetiRoadmap/OneParameterSemigroups/README.md, Part C, the positive-definite function API item asking for "a stated Fourier-convention conversion lemma between Mathlib's form and the characteristic-function form" before Bochner's theorem.

The Fourier-convention integral of a finite measure, written in exponential normal form, is Mathlib's characteristic function evaluated at (-2π) • a.

The Fourier-convention integral of a finite measure, written with the atom exp (-2πi⟪a, q⟫), is Mathlib's characteristic function evaluated at (-2π) • a.

Not a @[simp] lemma: simp already proves it — fourierAtom_apply and neg_mul rewrite the left-hand side into that of the simp lemma integral_exp_neg_two_pi_inner_eq_charFun_neg_two_pi_smul, which the simpNF linter reports as a duplicate if this statement is also tagged @[simp].

The scaling constant -2π of the Fourier convention is nonzero.

The Fourier transform written as the integral against the Fourier atom.

The Fourier-convention transform of a finite measure is positive definite for any additive group involution that is explicitly negation. This transports the positive-definiteness of charFun μ through the -2π additive rescaling.

The translation-invariant kernel attached to the Fourier-convention transform of a finite measure is positive definite. This is the kernel form of fourierConventionCharFun_isPositiveDefinite_of_star_eq_neg, avoiding any explicit choice of involution on the domain.

The Fourier-convention transform of a finite measure is continuous. This is just Mathlib's continuity of charFun, transported through the -2π rescaling.

Uniqueness half of Bochner's theorem. Two finite Borel measures with the same Fourier-convention transform coincide; this is Mathlib's characteristic-function uniqueness theorem, transported through the -2π rescaling. Stated on any complete second-countable real inner-product space; no finite-dimensionality is needed.
