For an orthogonal matrix , invariance in distribution givesThe orthogonal group is transitive on each Euclidean sphere, so depends only on . DefineThe continuity of a characteristic function makes continuous. Taking also gives , and henceso is real-valued. Thusas for every orthogonally invariant random vector.
