Wiener Integrals of Continuous Functions are Jointly Gaussian
theoremProbabilitythm:wiener-integral-gaussian-2026aLet be a standard Brownian motion on a probability space , with its natural filtration , regarded as the It^{o} integrator of Brownian Motion is an Ito Integrator with Unit Intensity. For a real and a continuous function , the Wiener integral is the It^{o} integral of the family of constant random variables , which is It^{o} integrable by claim 3 of Adapted Mean-Square Continuous Processes are Ito Integrable; each Wiener integral is determined up to almost sure equality, and a fixed version is understood wherever one appears below.
1. For every real , taking gives almost surely.
2. Let be a natural number, let be real, and for each let be continuous. Then
is a Gaussian random vector whose expectations vanish and whose covariances are
the Riemann integral of the continuous product, which exists by Continuous Functions on a Closed Interval are Riemann Integrable. (Since the covariances are unchanged when a random variable is replaced by an almost surely equal one, this holds for every choice of versions.)
3. Consequently, for any choice of versions, the family consisting of all Wiener integrals (over all real and all continuous ) together with all the random variables () is jointly Gaussian.
