Abstract
It is proved that a continuous function f on ℝ n is negative definite if and only if it is polynomially bounded and satisfies the inequality for all i.i.d. random vectors X and Y in ℝ n . The proof uses Fourier transforms of tempered distributions. The "only if" part has been proved earlier by Lifshits et al. (A probabilistic inequality related to negative definite functions.
