Head and Tail of a Diagonal Gaussian Measure on a Hilbert Space are Independent

Under a diagonal Gaussian measure on a Hilbert space, the first n coordinates and the remaining tail are independent: the joint law of head and tail is the product of the n-dimensional diagonal Gaussian with the law of the tail, and the measure is recovered from this product by adding head and tail.

Statement

In the setting of Borel Probability Measures on a Real Hilbert Space with an Orthonormal Basis: Standing Notation, with the coordinate map pnp_{n}, the synthesis map pn∗p_{n}^{*} and the projection Qn=idX−PnQ_{n}=\mathrm{id}_{X}-P_{n} of Borel Probability Measures on a Real Hilbert Space with an Orthonormal Basis: Standing Notation §coordinates and push-forwards as in Borel Probability Measures on a Real Hilbert Space with an Orthonormal Basis: Standing Notation §pushforward, let cc be a variance sequence, let γc\gamma_{c} be the diagonal Gaussian measure on XX with variances cc, and let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, with γc(n)\gamma_{c^{(n)}} the diagonal Gaussian measure on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} of the truncation c(n)c^{(n)}. Let Rn×X\mathbb{R}^{n}\times X carry the product metric; its Borel σ\sigma-algebra is B(Rn)⊗B(X)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\otimes\mathcal{B}(X) by The Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Product of Two Separable Metric Spaces is the Product Sigma-Algebra §product, both factors being separable (Euclidean Space is a Separable Metric Space §separable and Borel Probability Measures on a Real Hilbert Space with an Orthonormal Basis: Standing Notation §space); product measures on it are those of Existence and Uniqueness of the Product Measure, which applies to the finite, hence σ\sigma-finite, Borel probability measures used below. For maps into or out of Rn×X\mathbb{R}^{n}\times X, Borel means measurable with respect to these Borel σ\sigma-algebras, and push-forwards are the image measures of claim 1 of Image Measures, Measures with Densities, and Change of Variables. Let hn:X→Rn×Xh_{n}:X\to\mathbb{R}^{n}\times X be the map hn(x)=(pn(x),Qnx)h_{n}(x)=(p_{n}(x),Q_{n}x) and Φn:Rn×X→X\Phi_{n}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\times X\to X the map Φn(u,w)=pn∗(u)+w\Phi_{n}(u,w)=p_{n}^{*}(u)+w.

1. (Head and tail are independent) hnh_{n} is continuous, hence Borel, and

(hn)#γc=γc(n)⊗(Qn)#γc.(h_{n})_{\#}\gamma_{c}=\gamma_{c^{(n)}}\otimes(Q_{n})_{\#}\gamma_{c}.

2. (Synthesis) Φn\Phi_{n} is continuous, hence Borel, Φn∘hn=idX\Phi_{n}\circ h_{n}=\mathrm{id}_{X}, and

γc=(Φn)#(γc(n)⊗(Qn)#γc).\gamma_{c}=(\Phi_{n})_{\#}\bigl(\gamma_{c^{(n)}}\otimes(Q_{n})_{\#}\gamma_{c}\bigr).
