Local maxima of the sum of Gaussian functions in *multiple dimensions* are always strict loc...

This is a follow up of the question in one dimension, that asked to show that the all the maxima of the sum of Gaussian $$f_n(x):= \sum_{i=1}^{n}e^{-(x-x_i)^2}, x_1 < x_2 < \dots < x_n$$ are strict lo …

Comparison of concentrations of different $L^p$-norms of (sub) Gaussian distributions

It's well-known that the Euclidean $2$-norm of subgaussian random vectors concentrates in high dimensions, e.g. when $X \sim \mathcal{N}(0,I_n),$ (or in general $X$ is subgaussian with independent co- …

Let us assume we've a rectangular data matrix $X=[x_1 \dots x_n] \in \mathbb{R}^{p \times n}$, where the $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^{p \times 1}$ are iid column vectors. I'm not assuming here that the entrie …

Let $Z=[z_1, \dots z_n]$ be a $d \times n$ matrix, where the $z_i$'s are iid random vactors with mean $\mu \in \mathbb{R}^d$ and $d \times d$ (population) covariance matrix $\Sigma$, but the entries $ …

Asymptotically tight concentration of norms of subgaussian random vectors with independent c...

Let $X=(X_1 \dots X_n)\in \mathbb{R}^n,$ be a subgaussian random vector so that $X_i$'s are independent, $\mathbb{E}X_i = 0, \mathbb{E}X_i^2=1.$ Before we pose our question, let's state the following: …

Let $X:\Omega\to (M,g)$ be a random variable taking values in a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with the Riemannian volume form denoted by $dvol_g(x).$ We know that there's no standard way to generalize t …

Law of large numbers and Central Limit Theorem for eigenvalues of perturbed matrices

I'm looking for results where perturbation by iid random entries to a matrix will result in convergence of the eigenvalues to the original eigenvalues. More precisely, Let $ \forall n \in \mathbb{N} …

Asymptotics of $\chi_m$-distribution where the degree of freedom $m \to \infty?$

I'm interested to see a result where for large degree of freedom $m,$ the chi distribution $\chi_m$ is increasingly well approximated by a family of normal distributions with parameters depending on $ …

Law of large numbers for random Dirac measures

Suppose $\{X_1,...X_n\}:\Omega \to \mathbb{R}^p$ be i.i.d. random vectors with common probability law/measure $p$, i.e. $Prob(X_i^{-1}(E))=p(E) \forall E \subset \mathbb{R}^p $ Borel measurable. C …

First and last order statistics and their ratio for $\chi^2_{m}$ random samples

Let $X_1, \dots, X_n \sim_{iid} \chi^2_{m}$ be a random sample from a chi-squared distribution with $m$ degrees of freedom (d.f.). I was wondering if there's any known result for the order statistics …
