For every ,

For and , this expression is nonnegative.

Proof. By (eq:CH), a contraction with forces the insertion vector index to be . Thus the scalar contraction is

The factor from the two -leg assignments cancels the factor in this spectral density. The two minus signs in the definitions of the insertions cancel as well. Hermiticity gives the complex conjugate factor in (eq:spectral).

For fixed , the mollifier multipliers and the compact smooth smearings make the resulting integrals convergent. The positivity assertion uses only the positive scalar spectral measure, not positivity of the graviton covariance.
