Sharp spectral norm concentration of sparse random tensors

We prove a sharp concentration inequality for the spectral norm of sparse random tensors with independent Bernoulli entries. Let $T$ be an order-$k$ tensor of dimension $n\times\cdots\times n$ with independent Bernoulli$(p)$ entries, where $k$ is fixed. For any $c,r>0$, we show that $\|T-\mathbb E T\|\le C_{k,r,c}\sqrt...
