Wronskians of Fourier and Laplace Transforms
  Associated with a given suitable function, or a measure, on $\mathbb{R}$, we introduce a correlation function, so that the Wronskian of the Fourier transform of the function is the Fourier transform of the corresponding correlation function, and the same holds for the Laplace transform. We obtain two types of results. First, we show that Wronskians of the Fourier transform of a nonnegative function on $\mathbb{R}$ are positive definite functions and the Wronskians of the Laplace transform of a nonnegative function on $\mathbb{R}_+$ are completely monotone functions. Then we establish necessary and sufficient conditions in order that a real entire function, defined as a Fourier transform of a positive kernel $K$, belongs to the Laguerre-P\'olya class, which answers an old question of P\'olya. The characterization is given in terns of a density property of the correlation kernel related to $K$, via classical results of Laguerre and Jensen and employing Wiener's $L^1$ Tauberian theorem. As a consequence we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the Riemann hypothesis in terms of a density of the translations of the correlation function related to the Riemann $\xi$-function.
