A maximal inequality
Let $\{X_i\}_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ be i.i.d. symmetric random variables, with $-1\leq X_i\leq 1$, $\mathbb{E}(X_i) =0$, $\mathbb{E}(X_i^2) = 1$. We have that:

The lower bound of bivariate normal distribution
Suppose $(Z_1, Z_2)$ is the zero-mean bivariate normal distribution with covariance $\left( \begin{matrix} 1 & \rho; \\ \rho & 1\end{matrix} \right)$ with positive $\rho > 0$. What I want ...

Lower bound on the sum of the product of random variables
Let $X_i$ be the $i$-th element of the vector $X=(X_1, ..., X_m)$ of i.i.d. random variables.
I am looking for a lower bound for the expression
$\mathbb{P}((\sum^n_{i=1}\prod^{m_i}_{j=1}(X_j))^2 \geq ...
