Gaussian marginals do not imply a Gaussian random field

ID: gaussian-marginals-do-not-imply-a-gaussian-random-field

Let be a standard Gaussian random variable and independent symmetric signs, independent of . The stationary sequence has standard Gaussian marginals and identity covariance, but is not jointly Gaussian. For two coordinates its moment-generating function is , rather than . Consequently a field's Gaussian one-point densities and two-point covariance alone do not justify an exponential moment of a Gaussian linear functional.
