Isserlis' theorem: analytic reduction #

Mathlib already identifies mixed moments with iterated Fréchet derivatives of a characteristic function. For a centered Gaussian measure its characteristic function is the exponential of the negative covariance quadratic form. This file packages those two facts in the exact form needed for the finite-dimensional Isserlis induction.

The remaining algebraic step is to differentiate that quadratic exponential and identify the result with wickPairingSum; keeping it separate makes the probabilistic transport and the finite pairing induction independently auditable.

A Gaussian measure has moments of every finite order, in the precise form expected by the characteristic-function differentiation theorem.

Mixed inner-product moments are the iterated Fréchet derivatives of the Gaussian characteristic function at the origin.

Exact analytic reduction of Isserlis: the mixed moment is obtained by differentiating the exponential covariance quadratic form. No moment or measurability hypothesis remains beyond Gaussianity.
