Concentration of norm












1














Let $(X_1,...,X_n)in mathbb{R}^n$ be a random vector with independent sub-gaussian coordinates $X_i$ that satisfy $mathbb{E}X_i^2=1$. Then



$$||||X||_2-sqrt{n}||_{psi_2}leq CK^2$$,



Where $K=max||X_i||_{psi_2}$.



In the book "High dimensional probability", it is claimed that we can assume $Kgeq 1$ and $C$ is a universal constant.



But it is not clear why we can do so. Because the above expression is not homogeneous. I tried to change variables but if I change $X_i$ then the property of unit variance no longer holds.

  • First, what is $psi_2$? An Orlicz norm? Second, doesn't $K geq 1$ give a weaker inequality, so it can be assumed trivially? It's not clear to me what the question is.

  • It is sub-gaussian norm. if you prove for $Kgeq1$, it is not clear for me how you can deduce the result for the case that maximum of sub-gaussian norms is less than 1, which is not trivial.
