The Cameron-Martin space of a Gaussian measure isThe inverse is defined on the range of . In this infinite-dimensional setting “positive definite” must mean for every nonzero , rather than a uniform lower bound: a trace-class operator cannot be uniformly positive on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space.
By the spectral theorem for compact Hermitian operators, choose an orthonormal basis with , , and . (A strictly positive trace-class operator also forces the ambient Hilbert space to be separable.) In coordinates ,This is a Hilbert space with its indicated norm, even though its range need not be closed in the ambient norm.
The Cameron-Martin theorem for a Gaussian measure states that the translated law is an equivalent probability measure to exactly when . For such , its Radon-Nikodym derivative isThe series has mean-square convergence and converges almost surely under , since its independent summands have total variance . Its law is , so the density has expected value one. It is sometimes formally written , but a typical infinite-dimensional Gaussian sample is not in ; the series interpretation is essential. If , the two laws are mutually singular measures.
