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: $$ P\left(\bigcap_{k = 1}^{n}\frac{|\sum_{i = ...

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 ...

A distribution which is Wasserstein-close to a compactly supported distribution is almost compactly supported

I wonder whether this is true: If a distribution is very close (in the Wassertein sense) to another distribution with compact support, then the former must put only tiny amount of mass outside a ...
