Closed forms for the real Gaussian density #

Mathlib's ProbabilityTheory.gaussianPDFReal μ v is stated for a general mean μ and variance v. This file records the specialization at the standard parameters μ = 0, v = 1, where the shift and the variance both disappear and the density collapses to (√(2π))⁻¹ · e^{-x²/2}.

That closed form is what any calculation against the standard Gaussian weight rewrites by, and it is a statement about the Gaussian distribution alone: it mentions no orthogonal family, so it belongs here rather than in any of the families that consume it (the Hermite orthogonality relation and the Gaussian Hermite basis both do).
