1. INTRODUCTION AND NOTATIONS
Let
(X, Y)
be apair
of real linear spaces X and Y with a bilinear formx, ~ ~
on X xY,
and letC(X, Y)
be the minimalu-algebra
of subsetsof X that makes all
functions ~ ~ ~ , ~ ~ ; ~

measurable.Furthermore,
if the bilinear form satisfies the
separation axioms ;

we call
(X, Y)
a dual system. In this case, we denote the weaktopology
on X
by Y)
and theMackey topology by r(X, Y).
We say that a dual system

of X is finer thanr(X, Y),
and we denote the Borel field of Xby B(X, Y). Any
dual system is atopological
dual system if X isequipped
with
6(X, Y)
and we denoteby W(X, Y)
the Borel field of X foru(X, Y).
Evidently, W(X, Y), a fortiori, C(X, Y)
is included inB(X, Y)
for anytopological
dual system.Let U be a
topological
space andB(U)
be the Borel field of U. Thenwe say that a measure ~ on

For a
topological
linear space X we denote thealgebraic
dual space of Xby
xa and thetopological
dual spaceby
X’.Let
(X, Y)
be apair
of real linear spaces with a bilinear form~.Y, ~ ).
Then a Gaussian measure on
(X, C(X, Y))
is aprobability
measure suchthat for
every ~
EY, ( ~, ~ ~ obeys
a Gaussian law with mean and variancev(~).
We call the meanf unctional
and thevariance . .func-
tional of ~c. In
particular,
ifm(~) - 0,
we say the Gaussian measure is centered.Let
(X, Y)
be atopological
dual system. Then a Gaussian Radon measure on(X, B(X, Y))
is a Radon measure such that the restriction toC(X, Y)
is Gaussian.
In Section 2 of this paper we prove the
separability
for a Gaussianmeasure ~ on
(X, C(X, Y))
under theassumption
of the existence of anadmissible metric on Y where
(X, Y)
is apair
of linear spaces. Inparticular,
we show that if X is a metrizable
locally
convex space and Y is a linearsubspace
ofX’,
thenL2(~)
isseparable.
Let
(X, Y)
be atopological
dual system. In Section3,
we remark theequivalent-singular dichotomy
of two Gaussian Radon measures on(X, B(X, Y)) ;
in Section 4, we prove theseparability
ofL2(,u)
for a GaussianRadon measure on
(X, B(X, Y)).
Let
(X, Y)
be a dual system. In Section 5, we prove ther(X, Y)-separa- bility
of the support of a centered Gaussian Radon measure on(X, W(X, Y)).
Furthermore,
we prove theT(X, Y)-separability
of the support of a non- centered Gaussian Radon measure on(X, W(X, Y))
under thefollowing assumption :
(C. I)
There exists anincreasing
sequence ofY)-compact absolutely
convex sub-_sets
{
of X such that lim = 1.This is the case where X is
t(X, Y)-quasi-complete,
inparticular,
X isa Fréchet space and Y = X’, or Y is a Fréchet space and X = Y’.

is stated in H. Sato[7].
J. Kuelbs[4]
has also stated the
separability
ofH~
for a centered Gaussian Radonmeasure on
(X, B(X, X’))
where X is acomplete locally
convex Hausdorffspace. But
they
have the same error since everypre-Hilbert
space has not acomplete
orthonormal system(A.
Badrikian and S. Chevet[1]).
In thispaper, we have corrected it and obtained more
general
results.2. SEPARABILITY OF
Let
(X, Y)
be apair
of real linear spaces andlet
be a Gaussian measureon
(X, C(X, Y))
with the mean functional and the variance func- tionalu(~).
We say a metric p on Y is admissible ifit defines
alocally
convextopology
on Y such thatwhere
(Y, p)’
is thetopological
dual space of Y withp-topology (Y, p)’
n X= {

and~c*
is theouter measure, that
is,
for every A cX,
In this case, for every
sequence { ~" ~

in(Y, p),
the randomsequence ( (
x,~n ~ ~
convergesto ( x, ~ ~

on theprobability
space
(X, C(X, Y), ~c).
Infact,
the setbelongs
toC(X, Y)
and contains the set(Y, p)’
nX,
hence we have,u(A)

there is a subset E c X of outer measure one such that thetopology
p is finer than thepointwise

on E, thatis,
p is finer than thetopology r(Y, E). Conversely,
if a metrizablelocally
convex
topology
p on Y is finer than the one ofpointwise
convergenceon a suitable subset E of outer measure one, p is admissible. In
particular
every metric on Y which defines a
locally
convextopology
finer than the weaktopology 6(Y, X)
is admissible.LEMMA2-1. If p is an admissible metric on Y, then and

we have thefollowing

This proves the theorem.

EQUIVALENCE
OF GAUSSIAN RADON MEASURES In this section we prove theequivalent-singular dichotomy
for GaussianRadon measures for later use.
To
begin with,
we prepare two lemmas. Let K be a compact Hausdorffspace,

be the space of all continuous functions on K andBo(K)

of subsets of K that makesall functions in

and 2
be Radon measures on
(K, B(K)).
Then for every A inB(K)

Utilising
the above lemma and the well-known resultsconcerning
theequivalent-singular dichotomy
of Gaussian measures on(X, C(X, Y)),
we have the
following
theorem withoutdifficulty (Ju.
A. Rozanov[6]).
THEOREM 3-3. - Let
(X, Y)
be atopological
dual system of real linear spaces X andY, B(X, Y)
be the Borel fieldof X,
andlet p
and be Gaussian Radon measures on(X, B(X, Y)). Then ~
and are eitherequivalent (mutually absolutely continuous)
orsingular
andthey
areequivalent
ifand
only
if their restrictions toC(X, Y)
areequivalent.
The above theorem derives the same results as shown in
[6]
in our termino-logy.
Let(X, Y)
be atopological
dual system and ~c be a Gaussian Radonmeasure on
(X, B(X, Y)).
Furthermore letR~
be a linear transformation of Y intoL2(,u)
=L2(X, B(X, Y),
definedby
let
H~
be the closure of the range ofRu
inL2(~),
and letR:
be thealgebraic adjoint
transformation ofH~
into Ya. Asusual,
weidentify
thetopological
dual space of
H~
withH~.
THEOREM 3-4. - Let
(X, Y)
be atopological

andB(X, Y)

assume thatR*H~
oe X and thatH~
isseparable.
Then we have:

For x E X let ~cx be a Gaussian Radon measure on(X, B(X, Y))

296 H. SATO AND Y. OKAZAKI
The
proof
of the above theorem is the same as those shown in Out ofcompleteness,
wegive
theproof
of(2).
Let
Xo
be aB(X, Y)-measurable
linearsubspace
of X such thatJl(Xo) =
1,and assume that
R*H~
is not included inXo.
Then there exists an element .~co in such thatXo.
SinceXo
is a linearsubspace
ofX, Xo
andXo
+ xo aredisjoint and, by (1)
we have +xo)
= 1. Conse-quently
we haveThis is a contradiction.
4. SEPARABILITY OF
In this section we prove the
separability
of the Hilbert spaceL2(,u)
fora Gaussian Radon measure ~.
Let
(X, Y)
be atopological
dual systemand ,u
be a Gaussian Radonmeasure on
(X, B(X, Y)). Then,
since thetopology o-(X, Y)
is coarser than thetopology
ofX,
,u is also a Gaussian Radon measure on(X, W(X, Y)).
Consequently,
there exists the minimalY)-closed
linearsubspace X
of X such that = 1. We call
X~
thetopological
linear support of ,u.Let
X~
be thepolar
set ofX~
in Y. Then we have thefollowing
lemma.LEMMA 4-1. -
For ~
inY, ~
is inX~
if andonly if ~ ~ , ~ ~
=0,
a. e.(,u).
Proof:
Since = I , thenecessity
is obvious.Assume
that ~ ~, ~ ~
=0,
a. e.(,u).
SinceX~ == {
xe X ; ( x, ~ ~
=0 }
is a
u(X, Y)-closed
linearsubspace
of X and = 1, we haveX
c X~by
theminimality
ofX~,
in otherwords, ~
EX~.
This proves the lemma.
Define the linear transformation
Ru
of Y intoL2(,u)
=L(X, B(X, Y), ,u)
and
H~
as in theprevious
section.Then, using
the abovelemma,
we caneasily
prove thatX~
is the kernel ofR~.
Put
Y~ - Y/X°.
Then we haveX~
nW(X, Y)
=W(X~, Y Jl)
andX~
nC(X, Y)
=C(X~, Y~). Furthermore,
since the inducedtopology
of7(X, Y)
onX~
is identical withY~),

only
ifY,)-closed
and the inducedtopology
ofr(X, Y)
onX~
iscoarser than
Y Jl) (H.
H. Schaefer[8], Chap.
IV,§ 4).
On the other
hand, by
Lemma 3-2 we haveAnnales de l’lnstitut Henri Poincaré - Section B
Therefore,
in order to prove either theseparability
ofor the
T(X, Y)-separability
ofX~,
we haveonly
to prove it in the case ofIn this case we have Y =
Y~
andby
Lemma 4-1 we caneasily
show thatfor ~ in Y
and that
R,
is aninjection
of Y intoH~.
THEOREM 4-2. - Let
(X, Y)
be atopological
dual systemand J1
be aGaussian Radon measure on
(X, B(X, Y)).
ThenL2(~)
=L2(X, B(X, Y), ~c)
is aseparable
Hilbert space.Proof:
We may assume(C.II)
without loss ofgenerality.
Since ,u is also a Gaussian Radon measure on
(X, W(X, Y)),
there existsan
increasing
sequence of(7(X, Y)-compact subsets { K" ~
of X such thatLet Z be the linear hull
of Kn
and denoteby
p thetopology
on Yn
of uniform convergence on all
Kn. Then, using (C. II’),
we caneasily
showthat p is
locally
convex metrizable and finer than6(Y, Z).
On the otherhand,
we have Z c(Y, p)’
n X and~c*(Z)
= 1. Therefore p is an admissiblemetric on Y and
consequently, by
Theorem 2-6 and Lemma3-2,
L 2(X, B(X, Y), ~c)
=L2(X, C(X, Y), ~u)
isseparable.
This proves the theorem.
5. SEPARABILITY OF THE SUPPORT OF A GAUSSIAN RADON MEASURE
Using
thepreceding results,
we prove thefollowing
theorem.THEOREM 5-1. - Let
(X, Y)
be a dual systemand p
be a centered GaussianRadon measure on
(X, W(X, Y)).
Then thetopological
linear supportX~
of
isT(X, Y)-separable.
Proof:
As stated in§
4, we may assume the condition(C. II),
thatis,
X =Xu.
The measure p can be extended to a centered Gaussian RadonVol. XI, n° 3 - 1975.

(Ya, W(ya, Y)).
Then X isW(Ya, Y)-measurable,
henceby
theorem 3-4
(2),
we have c X. It is known,u(R*H~ X~y~) = 1,
where~(X, Y)
means the closure forT(X, Y)
inX,
remark that =(the bipolar) = {
xE X ; ~ x, ~ ~

E and forevery
~ E R* H° ~c( ~

that is
r(X, Y)-dense
in X.By
theorem4-2, H~
isseparable
andX =
X~
isr(X, Y)-separable.
This proves the theorem.
For non-centered Gaussian Radon measures we have the
following
result.
THEOREM 5-2. - Let
(X, Y)
be a dual systemand
be a Gaussian Radonmeasure on
(X, W(X, Y)) satisfying
the condition(C. I).
Then thetopolo- gical linear
supportX~
of X isr(X, Y)-separable.
Proof.
As stated in Section 4, we haveonly
to prove in the case X =X .
be the
increasing
sequence of6(X, Y)-compact absolutely
convex subsets of X
given
in(C. I).
Then thetopology
p on Y of the uniform convergence on allFn
is finer than6(Y, X)
and coarser thani(Y, X)
and therefore an admissible metric on Y.By
Lemma2-3, R~
is a compactlinear transformation of
(Y, p), a Jortiori,
of(Y, r(Y, X))
intoH~
andH~
isseparable. Consequently R:
is also a compact linear transformation ofH~
into
(X, r(X, Y))
with dense range and this proves the theorem.REFERENCES
