In the context of the Lévy-Khintchine formula, I have certain integral
(1) R p ( e i t x 1 i t x 1 x x ) d ν ( x ) , t R p
where ν is a measure defined on R p .
Suppose that
R p | x | 2 d ν ( x ) <
Define:
κ ( E ) = E | x | 2 d ν ( x ) , E R p .
I want to get d κ ( x ) as a function of d ν ( x ) in order to do a substitution in (1), but I don't know how to differentiate κ:
d κ ( x ) = ? d ν ( x )

The Radon-Nikodym derivative.
If κ ( E ) = E | x | 2 d ν ( x ) for all measurable E R p , then | x | 2 is called the Radon-Nikodym derivative of κ with respect to ν. Some notations are
| x | 2 = d κ d ν ( x ) or | x | 2 d ν ( x ) = d κ ( x ) .
The meaning of each of these is:
φ ( x ) d κ ( x ) = φ ( x ) | x | 2 d ν ( x )
for all appropriate functions φ.
