The Score Integrates by Parts Against Every Compactly Supported Continuously Differentiable Vector Field
lemmaProbabilitylem:score-integration-by-parts-fields-euclidean-2026aThe score of a measure of finite Fisher information, defined by testing against gradients only, satisfies the integration-by-parts identity against every compactly supported vector field: its pairing with the field is minus the mean of the divergence.
In the setting of Wasserstein Spaces, Random Vectors, Vector Fields and Symmetric Matrices in Every Dimension: Standing Notation, with the space and its inner product ; finite Fisher information, the set and the score are those of that definition. Compact support of a function on refers to the topology of the open subsets of (Metric Open Sets Form a Topology and Euclidean Openness Agrees with Metric Openness on ), a function is bounded as defined there, a map into is bounded when its Euclidean norm is, and integrable is as in Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation §measures. Let , and let be a map whose components () are of class on , in the sense of Differential Calculus and Convexity on Euclidean Open Sets: Standing Notation §derivatives, and compactly supported; its divergence is the function .
1. (Integration by parts)¶ The map is Borel and bounded, so that its class belongs to and is again written ; the function is Borel and bounded, hence integrable with respect to ; and
