Denote by $Phi(t) = mathbb{E}e^{imath , t cdot X}$ the characteristic function of $X$. We have



$$X = frac{1}{2} big((X+Y)+(X-Y) big).$$



Thus,



$$begin{align*} Phi(t) &= mathbb{E}e^{imath , frac{t}{2} (X+Y)} cdot mathbb{E}e^{imath , frac{t}{2} (X-Y)}= left( mathbb{E}e^{imath , frac{t}{2} X} right)^2 cdot mathbb{E}e^{imath , frac{t}{2} Y} cdot mathbb{E}e^{-imath , frac{t}{2} Y} end{align*}$$



where we used the independence of $X-Y$ and $X+Y$ as well as the independence of $X$ and $Y$. By assumption, $X sim Y$; therefore



$$Phi(t) = Phi left( frac{t}{2} right)^3 cdot Phi left( - frac{t}{2} right). tag{1} $$



This shows that it suffices to determine $Phi$ on $B(0,varepsilon)$ for some $varepsilon>0$. Since $Phi(0)=1$, we can choose $varepsilon>0$ such that $Phi(B(0,varepsilon)) cap {x+imath , y; x leq 0, y in mathbb{R}} = emptyset$. For $t in B(0,varepsilon)$ we define



$$psi(t) := log Phi(t)$$



Then $(1)$ reads



$$psi(t) = 3 psi left( frac{t}{2} right) + psi left( - frac{t}{2} right). tag{2} $$



Applying this to $-t$ yields



$$psi(-t) = 3 psi left( - frac{t}{2} right) + psi left( frac{t}{2} right).$$



Subtracting the last two equalities we obtain



$$delta(t) := psi(t)-psi(-t) = 2 psi left( frac{t}{2} right) - 2 psi left( - frac{t}{2} right) = 2 delta left( frac{t}{2} right).$$



Consequently,



$$frac{delta(t)}{t} = frac{delta left( frac{t}{2^n} right)}{frac{t}{2^n}}. tag{3}$$



Note that $Phi$ is twice differentiable and $Phi'(0)=0$, $Phi''(0)=-1$ since $mathbb{E}X=0$, $mathbb{E}(X^2)=1$. Therefore, $delta$ and $psi$ are also twice differentiable and we can calculate the deriatives at $t=0$ explicitely. From $(3)$, we find



$$frac{delta(t)}{t} to delta'(0) = 0qquad text{as} ,, n to infty,$$



i.e. $delta(t)=0$. By the definition of $delta$ and $(2)$,



$$psi(t) = 4 psi left( frac{t}{2} right).$$



By Hôpital's theorem,



$$frac{psi(t)}{t^2} = frac{psi left( frac{t}{2^n} right)}{left( frac{t}{2^n} right)^2} to frac{1}{2} psi''(0) = - frac{1}{2} qquad text{as} ,, n to infty.$$



Hence, $$psi(t) = - frac{t^2}{2}.$$

I fail to see the construction of $(t_n)$. That $Phi(t)^3Phi(-t)$ is in $mathbb R_-$ does not imply a priori that $Phi(t)$ or $Phi(-t)$ is in $mathbb R_-$. // Note that the identity you are trying to use is $Phi(2t)=Phi(t)^2|Phi(t)|^2$.
