Time slices of semigroup-group positive-definite functions #
A Berg--Christensen--Ressel positive-definite function on ℝ≥0 × V is positive definite in the
spatial variable at every fixed time. Indeed, to test the kernel
(v, w) ↦ F (t, v - w), apply the BCR kernel to the family of points (t / 2, v).
This file records that fixed-time-slice API in kernel form, together with the predicate form for
the fixed-time slice. These lemmas are prerequisites for the BCR representation milestone in the
OneParameterSemigroups roadmap: later proofs can apply the spatial Bochner theorem to each time
slice before handling the remaining Laplace/semigroup structure.
This advances TauCetiRoadmap/OneParameterSemigroups/README.md, Part C, Milestone 2
("BCR semigroup--Bochner"), specifically the reduction of a bounded continuous
positive-definite function on [0,∞) × V to spatial positive-definite functions.

At every fixed time t, a semigroup-group positive-definite function gives the spatial
positive-definite kernel (v, w) ↦ F (t, v - w).
Fixed-time slices are conjugate-symmetric in the spatial variable:
conj (F (t, v - w)) = F (t, w - v).
The diagonal value F (t, 0) of a fixed-time slice is real and nonnegative.
The diagonal value F (t, 0) of a fixed-time slice has zero imaginary part.
The real part of the diagonal value F (t, 0) of a fixed-time slice is nonnegative.
The fixed-time spatial quadratic form is nonnegative for arbitrary finite families.
The fixed-time spatial Cauchy--Schwarz bound for the kernel entry F (t, v - w).
At a fixed time, a semigroup-group positive-definite function is bounded by the real part of its zero-spatial value.
If the fixed-time diagonal value is zero, then the whole fixed-time spatial slice is zero.
If the spatial type is equipped with the negation involution, then each fixed-time slice is a
positive-definite function in the generic IsPositiveDefinite sense.
Each fixed-time slice is positive definite in the subtraction form, the predicate that Bochner's theorem on a finite-dimensional real inner-product space takes as its hypothesis.
Package the positive-definite kernel on a fixed-time slice with continuity of the one-variable fixed-time slice.
