Determinant of the random matrix $X^2+Y^2$

$\DeclareMathOperator\Prob{Prob}$Let $X,Y\in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ be $2$ random matrices. The entries of $X,Y$ are i.i.d. variables. They follow the standard normal law $N(0,1)$. i) When $n=2,3,4$, one ...

Probability density of a hyperplane for a Gaussian distribution

I have a vector $\mathbf{x}$ with a multivariate Gaussian distribution $$P[\textbf{x}\in S] =\int_{\textbf{x}\in S} \det(2\pi H^{-1})^{-1/2}\exp(-\frac{1}{2} \textbf{x}^T H\textbf{x}) \, d\textbf{x}$$...

Hermite polynomial after rotation

When we consider the $n$-dimensional standard normal distribution, the orthogonal basis is $\{H_S(x)\}_{S}$ where $H_S(x) = \prod_{k=1}^n H_{s_k}(x_k)$. Here $H_*(x)$ is the normalized probabilist's ...
