3. A symmetric Gaussian distribution is a continuous homomorphic image of a Gaussian distribution on a linear space (either finite-dimensional \mathbb{R}^n or infinite-dimensional \mathbb{R}^\infty, the space of all sequences with product topology)G.

4. Let X be connected. If X is not [[locally connected space|locally connected]], then every Gaussian distribution on X is [[singular measure|singular]] with respect to the [[Haar measure]] on X, whereas if X is locally connected and finite-dimensional, then any Gaussian distribution on X is either [[Absolute continuity|absolutely continuous]] or singular. The corresponding question for infinite-dimensional locally connected groups remains open, although both types of Gaussian distributions can be constructed.

5. On finite-dimensional connected groups, any two Gaussian distributions are either mutually absolutely continuous or mutually singular.
