We prove a simple criterion of exponential tightness for sequences of Gaussian r.v.'s with values in a separable Banach space from which we deduce a general result of Large Deviations which allows easily to obtain LD estimates in various…

The exact expression for the probability density $p_{_N}(x)$ for sums of a finite number $N$ of random independent terms is obtained. It is shown that the very tail of $p_{_N}(x)$ has a Gaussian form if and only if all the random terms are…

We consider two independent random variables with the given tail asymptotic (e.g. power or exponential). We find tail asymptotic for their sum and product. This is done by some cumbersome but purely technical computations and requires the…

We prove an isoperimetric inequality for probability measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density proportional to $\exp(-\phi(\lambda | x|))$, where $|x|$ is the euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\phi$ is a non-decreasing convex…
