On Small deviations of Gaussian processes using majorizing measures

Probability 2017-07-13 v1

Abstract

We give two examples of periodic Gaussian processes, having entropy numbers of exactly same order but radically different small deviations. Our construction is based on classical Knopp's result yielding of existence of continuous nowhere differentiable functions, and more precisely on Loud's functions. We also obtain a general lower bound for small deviations using the majorizing measure method. We show on examples that our bound is sharp. We also apply it to Gaussian independent sequences and to the generic class of ultrametric Gaussian processes. 60F15, 60G50 ; Secondary: 60F05
