Reason: Initial publication: closure of Gaussian random vectors under mean-square limits, the key bridge from Wiener integrals to the Gaussian filtering theory (batch publication approved by coauthor).

Statement

Let (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P) be a probability space and let d1d\ge1 be a natural number. For each kNk\in\mathbb{N} let (X1k,,Xdk)(X^{k}_{1},\dots,X^{k}_{d}) be a Gaussian random vector on (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P), and let X1,,XdX_1,\dots,X_d be square-integrable random variables such that

XikXi20(k)  for each i{1,,d},\lVert X^{k}_{i}-X_i\rVert_{2}\longrightarrow 0\qquad(k\to\infty)\ \ \text{for each }i\in\{1,\dots,d\},

with 2\lVert\cdot\rVert_{2} the mean-square norm of Square-Integrable Random Variables and the Mean-Square Inner Product.

Then (X1,,Xd)(X_1,\dots,X_d) is a Gaussian random vector, and its moments are the limits of the moments: with the expectations and covariances (defined and finite for Gaussian random vectors by Square-Integrability, Moments, and Covariance Matrix of a Gaussian Random Vector),

E[Xi]=limkE[Xik],Cov(Xi,Xj)=limkCov(Xik,Xjk)(1i,jd).\mathbb{E}[X_i]=\lim_{k\to\infty}\mathbb{E}[X^{k}_{i}],\qquad \operatorname{Cov}(X_i,X_j)=\lim_{k\to\infty}\operatorname{Cov}(X^{k}_{i},X^{k}_{j})\qquad(1\le i,j\le d).

The same conclusions hold if the Gaussian random vectors (X1k,,Xdk)(X^{k}_{1},\dots,X^{k}_{d}) are given only for all sufficiently large kk (discard the initial indices and relabel).
