Sub-Gaussian sums of bounded local observables under unit range #
Unit range of dependence makes a family of observables carried by pairwise
ℓ^∞-separated regions jointly independent. Bounded centred random variables
have sub-Gaussian moment-generating functions by Hoeffding's lemma, and the
moment-generating function of a sum of independent sub-Gaussian variables is the
product of theirs, so a sum over a separated family is sub-Gaussian with
parameter the number of its members.
The family the concentration-for-sums condition is stated for is not separated:
neighbouring standard aligned cubes touch. It becomes separated after a triadic
colouring, and the moment-generating function of the whole sum is bounded by the
product of the colour-class ones without any independence between the colours.
The Cauchy–Schwarz inequality turns the resulting sum of square roots into the
dimensional parameter 3^d N for a family of N cubes.
Every constant produced here is a power of three in the dimension: nothing in this file sees a law, a reference block, a source scale or an exponent.
Two facts about sub-Gaussian moment-generating functions #
The sub-Gaussian parameter may be enlarged.
A finite sum of sub-Gaussian variables, with no independence assumed, is sub-Gaussian with the square of the sum of the square roots of the parameters.
Bounded centred observables #
Hoeffding's lemma on the coefficient space: a centred observable bounded by one has a sub-Gaussian moment-generating function with parameter one.
Sums over a separated family #
A sum of centred observables bounded by one, each measurable for the local sigma-field of its own region, over a pairwise unit-separated family of regions, is sub-Gaussian with parameter the number of summands.
Sums over one colour class of standard aligned cubes #
A sum of centred observables bounded by one, each local to its own standard aligned cube, over a family of cubes of one colour, is sub-Gaussian with parameter the number of cubes.
Sums over the whole family #
The concentration-for-sums moment bound. A sum of centred observables
bounded by one, each local to its own standard aligned cube of a common
nonnegative scale, is sub-Gaussian with the dimensional parameter 3^d N, where
N is the number of cubes. The colour classes carry independence; the sum over
the at most 3^d colours costs the Cauchy–Schwarz factor.
