Expectation - Notation (using a comma inside)

148 Views Asked by At

What does it mean when one uses a comma inside an expectation $\mathbb{E}[a, b]$?

This is in my lecture notes and so want to confirm what this notation may mean as it doesn't seem to be standard (from a google search anyways).

Edit:

Context:

Consider a continuous time random walk. Let the length of each hop be distributed by $l \sim \lambda$.

Assume $\lambda(l)$ is isotropic, then $\mathbb{E}[l_i, l_j] = \mathbb{E}[(l_i)^2] \delta_{ij}$

If anyone knows why the statement itself is true, then please share as that would be equally useful!
