The Space of Square-Integrable Random Vectors is a Real Hilbert Space; Its Laws Have Finite Second Moment; Constants and Translations

L2(OmegaL^2(Omega;Rd)R^d) is a real Hilbert space; the law of a square-integrable random vector has finite second moment equal to the squared L2L^2 norm; constant random vectors are square-integrable and translating a random vector pushes its law forward by the translation.

Statement

In the setting of Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation, let d∈Nd\in\mathbb{N} satisfy 1≤d1\le d, and let L2(Ω;Rd)L^{2}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{d}) be the space of classes of square-integrable random vectors in Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} on (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P), with the inner product and norm ⟨⋅,⋅⟩L2\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle_{L^{2}}, ∥⋅∥L2\lVert\cdot\rVert_{L^{2}} and the notational convention fixed there. Then the following hold.

1. (Hilbert space) L2(Ω;Rd)L^{2}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{d}) is a real Hilbert space.

2. (Laws have finite second moment) For every X∈L2(Ω;Rd)X\in L^{2}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{d}) the law L(X)\mathcal{L}(X) belongs to the set P2(Rd)\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) of probability measures with finite second moment, with second moment M2(L(X))=∥X∥L22M_{2}(\mathcal{L}(X))=\lVert X\rVert_{L^{2}}^{2}.

3. (Constants and translations) For a∈Rda\in\mathbb{R}^{d} the constant map Ω→Rd\Omega\to\mathbb{R}^{d} with value aa is a square-integrable random vector, whose class, denoted cac_{a}, satisfies ∥ca∥L2=∥a∥\lVert c_{a}\rVert_{L^{2}}=\lVert a\rVert; and for X∈L2(Ω;Rd)X\in L^{2}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{d}) the law of X+caX+c_{a} is the push-forward of L(X)\mathcal{L}(X) by the translation τa:Rd→Rd\tau_{a}:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{R}^{d}, τa(x)=x+a\tau_{a}(x)=x+a, which is Borel.
