Small ball probabilities, maximum density and rearrangements

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove that the probability that a sum of independent random variables in Rd\mathbb{R}^d with bounded densities lies in a ball is maximized by taking uniform distributions on balls. This in turn generalizes a result by Rogozin on the maximum density of such sums on the line.
