We give a comparison inequality that allows one to estimate the tail probabilities of sums of independent Banach space valued random variables in terms of those of independent identically distributed random variables. More precisely, let…

Many enumeration problems in combinatorics, including such fundamental questions as the number of regular graphs, can be expressed as high-dimensional complex integrals. Motivated by the need for a systematic study of the asymptotic…

Eigenvalue estimates that are optimal in some sense have self-evident appeal and leave estimators with a sense of virtue and economy. So, it is natural that ongoing searches for effective strategies for difficult tasks such as estimating…

This paper establishes a comparison theorem for the maximum eigenvalue of a sum of independent random symmetric matrices. The theorem states that the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix sum is dominated by the maximum eigenvalue of a Gaussian…

We prove several trace inequalities that extend the Araki Lieb Thirring (ALT) inequality, Golden Thompson (GT) inequality and logarithmic trace inequality to arbitrary many tensors. Our approaches rely on complex interpolation theory as…

We modify the classical Bernstein's inequality for the sums of independent centered random variables (r.v.) in the terms of relative tails or moments. We built also some examples in order to show the exactness of offered results.

We generalize a famous tail Doob's inequality, relative two non-negative random variables, arising in the martingale theory, in two directions: on the more general source data and on the random variables belonging to the so-called Grand…

Sum rules are elegant formulas that relate entropy functionals to coefficients associated with orthogonal polynomials [Sim11]. In a series of paper (see for example [GNR16], [GNR17], [BSZ18a], [BSZ18b]), interesting connections have been…

We provide a new extension of Breiman's Theorem on computing tail probabilities of a product of random variables to a multivariate setting. In particular, we give a complete characterization of regular variation on cones in $[0,\infty)^d$…

One of the major themes of random matrix theory is that many asymptotic properties of traditionally studied distributions of random matrices are universal. We probe the edges of universality by studying the spectral properties of random…

Many management decisions involve accumulated random realizations for which only the first and second moments of their distribution are available. The sharp Chebyshev-type bound for the tail probability and Scarf bound for the expected loss…

In this note we study the right large deviation of the top eigenvalue (or singular value) of the sum or product of two random matrices $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ as their dimensions goes to infinity. The matrices $\mathbf{A}$ and…

We prove an upper bound on sums of squares of minors of {+1, -1} matrices. The bound is sharp for Hadamard matrices, a result due to de Launey and Levin (2009), but our proof is simpler. We give several corollaries relevant to minors of…

The paper suggests a simple method of deriving minimax lower bounds to the accuracy of statistical inference on heavy tails. A well-known result by Hall and Welsh (Ann. Statist. 12 (1984) 1079-1084) states that if $\hat{\alpha}_n$ is an…
