This statement constructs affine whitening maps that preserve convergence of moments through degree four.

Let EEE be a finite-dimensional real inner-product space with its Borel measurable structure. Let (λk)(λ_k)(λk​) and μμμ be probability measures on EEE, and assume Isotropic μ. Fix R∈RR\in\mathbb RR∈R. Suppose:

  1. every λkλ_kλk​ and μμμ give measure zero to the complement of the closed ball B‾(0,R)\overline B(0,R)B(0,R);
  2. for every d≤4d\le4d≤4 and every v:Fin⁡(d)→Ev:\operatorname{Fin}(d)\to Ev:Fin(d)→E, the mixed moments of λkλ_kλk​ converge to those of μμμ.

Then there exist continuous linear equivalences Lk:E≃LEL_k:E\simeq_L ELk​:E≃L​E and centers ck∈Ec_k\in Eck​∈E such that, for all sufficiently large kkk,

∫Lk(x−ck) dλk(x)=0,\int L_k(x-c_k)\,dλ_k(x)=0,∫Lk​(x−ck​)dλk​(x)=0,

and, for every u,v∈Eu,v\in Eu,v∈E,

∫⟨u,Lk(x−ck)⟩⟨v,Lk(x−ck)⟩ dλk(x)=⟨u,v⟩.\int \langle u,L_k(x-c_k)\rangle\langle v,L_k(x-c_k)\rangle\,dλ_k(x)=\langle u,v\rangle.∫⟨u,Lk​(x−ck​)⟩⟨v,Lk​(x−ck​)⟩dλk​(x)=⟨u,v⟩.

Moreover, the mixed moments of the transformed laws through degree four converge to the corresponding moments of μμμ. This is the affine whitening step in the regular approximation.
