Our conditions reduce to $d^2=o(n)$ when the variables have uniformly bounded fourth moments. The proofs are based on a new concentration inequality for quadratic forms in symmetric random tensors and a law of large numbers for elementary symmetric random polynomials.","PeriodicalId":50543,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Communications in Probability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44325550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Let B = { B t } t ≥ 0 be a standard d -dimensional Brownian motion. Boué and Dupuis (1998) showed that, for any bounded measurable functional F ( B ) of B up to time 1 , the expectation E (cid:104) e F ( B ) (cid:105) admits a variational representation in terms of drifted Brownian motions. In this paper, with a slight modification of insightful reasoning by Lehec (2013) allowing also F ( B ) to be a functional of B over the whole time interval, we prove that the Boué–Dupuis formula holds true provided that both e F ( B ) and F ( B ) are integrable, relaxing conditions in earlier works. We also show that the formula implies the exponential hypercontractivity of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup in R d , and hence, due to their equivalence, implies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality in the d -dimensional Gaussian space.","PeriodicalId":50543,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Communications in Probability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41409898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
