Abstract

Let H be a real Hilbert space. It is well known that a positive-definite function φ on H is the Fourier transform of a Radon measure on the dual space if (and only if) φ is continuous in the Sazonov topology (resp. the Gross topology) on H. Let G be an additive subgroup of H and let Gpc (resp. Gb) be the character group endowed with the topology of uniform convergence on precompact (resp. bounded) subsets of G. It is proved that if a positive-definite function φ on G is continuous in the Gross topology, then φ is the Fourier transform of a Radon measure μ on Gpc; if φ is continuous in the Sazonov topology, μ can be extended to a Radon measure on Gb.
