Abstract

This note extends a recent result of Mendelson on the supremum of a quadratic process to squared norms of functions taking values in a Banach space. Our method of proof is a reduction by a symmetrization argument and observation about the subadditivity of the generic chaining functional. We provide an application to the supremum of a linear process in the sample covariance matrix indexed by finite rank, positive definite matrices.
