Reason: Initial publication: one-dimensional Gaussian closure under mean-square limits, core support for the Gaussian-vector limit theorem (batch publication approved by coauthor).

Statement

Let (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P) be a probability space, let (Xk)kN(X_k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of Gaussian random variables on it, and let XX be a square-integrable random variable such that the mean-square distance satisfies XkX20\lVert X_k-X\rVert_{2}\to0 as kk\to\infty.

Then XX is a Gaussian random variable, and its expectation and variance are the limits

E[X]=limkE[Xk],Var(X)=limkVar(Xk),\mathbb{E}[X]=\lim_{k\to\infty}\mathbb{E}[X_k],\qquad \operatorname{Var}(X)=\lim_{k\to\infty}\operatorname{Var}(X_k),

where each E[Xk]\mathbb{E}[X_k] and Var(Xk)\operatorname{Var}(X_k) is defined and finite by Square-Integrability, Moments, and Covariance Matrix of a Gaussian Random Vector.
