\begin{definition}+[Convolution]
Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be probability measures on $\R^d$
with Lebesgue densities $f_\mu$ and $f_\nu$.
Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be probability measures on $\R^d$.
Then the \vocab{convolution} of $\mu$ and $\nu$,
$\mu \ast \nu$,
is the probability measure on $\R^d$
with Lebesgue density
defined by
\[
f_{\mu \ast \nu}(x) \coloneqq
\int_{\R^d} f_\mu(x - t) f_\nu(t) \lambda^d(\dif t).
(\mu \ast \nu)(A) = \int_{\R^d} \int_{\R^d} \One_A(x + y) \mu(\dif x) \nu(\dif y).
\]
\end{definition}
\begin{fact}
If $\mu$ and $\nu$ have Lebesgue densities $f_\mu$ and $f_\nu$,
then the convolution has Lebesgue density
\[
f_{\mu \ast \nu}(x) \coloneqq
\int_{\R^d} f_\mu(x - t) f_\nu(t) \lambda^d(\dif t).
\]
