History of the name "subexponential distribution" in probability
In probability theory, the term subexponential distribution has historically been used for a distribution whose CDF $F(x)$ satisfies the relation
$$
n(1-F(x)) \sim 1 - F^{*n}(x)
$$ for any $n \ge 1$ a …

Convergence in probability of sample covariance for permutation invariant triangular arrays
Take two triangular arrays $X_{N,i}$ and $Y_{N,i}$ of random variables where $1 \le i \le N$. Suppose that the families $\{X_{N,i}\}$ and $\{Y_{N,i}\}$ are independent, and that the following conditio …

Large scale analysis of matrix multiplications
If $m,n \to \infty$ with $\frac{m}n \to \lambda \in (0,\infty)$ (let's suppose that $n$ depends on $m \in\mathbb{N}$), and if you are saying that each $\mathbf{B} = \mathbf{B}_m$ is an $m\times n$ ran …

Law of large numbers for triangular arrays whose moments "look independent"
Let $(X_{n,k})_{k=1,\ldots,n}^{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a triangular array of random variables with finite moments of all orders, with no assumptions on their independence. Suppose that
$$
\mathbb{E}\left[ …

What is vague convergence and what does it accomplish?
For convenience, let's say that I have a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$ and am concerned with probability measures on its Borel $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{B}(X)$. Natural vector spaces to conside …
