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…

We discuss two-sided bounds for moments and tails of quadratic forms in Gaussian random variables with values in Banach spaces. We state a natural conjecture and show that it holds up to additional logarithmic factors. Moreover in a certain…
