Fourier distance of order two

ID: fourier-distance-of-order-two

For finite nonnegative measures with equal mass and first moment and finite second moments, the constant and linear terms of their Fourier transforms cancel. Taylor's remainder bounds their difference by a constant times , making this distance finite. Fourier uniqueness gives definiteness. The origin is excluded from the supremum; the quotient need not have a direction-independent limit there.
