This note describes the concentration phenomenon for a high dimensional sub-gaussian vector \( X \). In the Gaussian case, for any linear operator \( Q \), it holds \( P\bigl( \| Q X \|^{2} - tr (B) > 2 \sqrt{x\, tr(B^{2})} + 2 \| B \| x…

In this paper, we derive a new version of Hanson-Wright inequality for a sparse bilinear form of sub-Gaussian variables. Our results are generalization of previous deviation inequalities that consider either sparse quadratic forms or dense…

We establish sparse Hanson-Wright inequalities for quadratic forms of sparse $\alpha$-sub-exponential random vectors with exponent parameter $\alpha\in(0, 2]$. In the regime $0< \alpha\le 1$ we derive a refined inequality that is optimal in…

This is Part II of our work about random tensor inequalities and tail bounds for bivariate random tensor means. After reviewing basic facts about random tensors, we first consider tail bounds with more general connection functions. Then, a…

We present precise multilevel exponential concentration inequalities for polynomials in Ising models satisfying the Dobrushin condition. The estimates have the same form as two-sided tail estimates for polynomials in Gaussian variables due…

The present paper concentrates on the analogues of Rosenthal's inequalities for ordinary and decoupled bilinear forms in symmetric random variables. More specifically, we prove the exact moment inequalities for these objects in terms of…

The purpose of the present paper is to establish moment estimates of Rosenthal type for a rather general class of random variables satisfying certain bounds on the cumulants. We consider sequences of random variables which satisfy a central…

Computing the distribution of permanents of random matrices has been an outstanding open problem for several decades. In quantum computing, "anti-concentration" of this distribution is an unproven input for the proof of hardness of the task…

In this work we provide performance guarantees for hypocoercive non-reversible MCMC samplers $X_t$ with invariant measure $\mu_*$; our results apply in particular to the Langevin equation, Hamiltonian Monte-Carlo, and the bouncy particle…

Exact lower bounds on the exponential moments of min(y,X) and XI{X<y} are provided given the first two moments of a random variable X. These bounds are useful in work on large deviations probabilities and nonuniform Berry-Esseen bounds,…
