For a radial weight with the required absolutely integrable moments, rotational symmetry makes the second and fourth moments isotropic tensors. The second moment is ; its trace gives . Complete symmetry of the fourth moment forces equal coefficients of the three Kronecker delta pairings. Its double tensor contraction gives , proving the displayed expression. Odd moments vanish under . Choosing to be the indicator function of a spherical shell gives all the corresponding shell moments without separate angular integrations.
