a p_random vector X has a multivariate Cauchy distribution if its probability density function is of the form: f(x; m, S)={ c |S| ^(-1/2) } / { [1 + (x-m)'S^{-1}(x-m) ] ^ (1+p)/2 } (m is a p_vector and S a definite positive matrix) How can I show that its charateristic function is: exp {i m' t - (t' S t)^1/2} ?
