    The authors treat the truncated Wightman functions obtained by analytic continuation of the Schwinger functions (i.e. moments) of Euclidean scalar random fields in all dimensions, and of covariant vector quaternionic random fields. The random fields are constructed via convoluted generalized white noises. In Section 2, they formulate the condition \[ | W^T_n(\phi)|\leq a_n\|\phi\|_{K,N},\quad \forall\phi\in S(R^{dn}, C^{qn}),\tag{1} \] on a set of truncated Wightman functions, which permits the construction of the Hilbert space structure. In Sections 3 and 4, they show that their truncated Wightman functions satisfy condition (1), and their models fulfill the Morchio-Strocchi modified Wightman axioms I--V. The axiom V is the Hilbert space structure condition which is used instead of the axiom of positivity. That is, such random fields provide relativistic models for indefinite metric quantum field theory.
