On the Maximum of Random Variables on Product Spaces

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let ξiξ_i, i=1,...,ni=1,...,n, and ηjη_j, j=1,...,mj=1,...,m be iid p-stable respectively q-stable random variables, 1<p<q<21<p<q<2. We prove estimates for $\Ex_{Ω_1} \Ex_{Ω_2}\max_{i,j}\abs{a_{ij}ξ_i(ω_1)η_j(ω_2)}$ in terms of the ℓpm(ℓqn)\ell_p^m(\ell_q^n)-norm of (aij)i,j(a_{ij})_{i,j}. Additionally, for p-stable and standard gaussian random variables we prove estimates in terms of the ℓpm(ℓMξn)\ell_p^m(\ell_{M_ξ}^n)-norm, MξM_ξ depending on the Gaussians. Furthermore, we show that a sequence ξiξ_i, i=1,...,ni=1,...,n of iid log⁡−γ(1,p)\log-γ(1,p) distributed random variables (p≥2p\geq 2) generates a truncated ℓp\ell_p-norm, especially $\Ex \max_{i}\abs{a_iξ_i}\sim \norm{(a_i)_i}_2$ for p=2p=2. As far as we know, the generating distribution for ℓp\ell_p-norms with p≥2p\geq 2 has not been known up to now.
