Fix $0<r<1$, and let $X_1,X_2,\dots$ be independent symmetric Weibull$(r)$ random variables, that is, \[ \textsf{P}(|X_i|>t)=e^{-t^r},\qquad t\ge 0. \] We prove that there is no constant $C_r$, depending only on $r$, with the following universal property: for every finite set $T\subset \R^N$ there exists a sequence $(y_k)_{k\ge 1}\subset \R^N$ such that \[ T-T\subset conv\{y_k:k\ge 1\}, \qquad \|X_{y_k}\|_{L_{\log(k+2)}}\le C_r\,\bx(T) \quad (k\ge 1), \] where $X_t=\sum_i t_i X_i$ and $\bx(T)=\textsf{E}\sup_{t\in T}X_t$. This gives a negative answer to a question of Lata{\l}a concerning the validity of convex-hull bounds for canonical Weibull processes. In fact, the failure persists even when the auxiliary vectors appearing in the convex hull are allowed to be arbitrary.
Let $X=(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ have independent coordinates with mean zero, variance one, and $\|X_i\|_{\psi_2}\le K$, and let $H_d=(\mathbb R^n)^{\otimes_2 d}$. Let $L>0$ and let $f:H_d\to\mathbb R$ be convex and $L$-Lipschitz. We prove that, for $0\le t\le c_KLn^{d/2}$, \[ \textsf{P}\left\{ \left\lvert f(X^{\otimes d})-\te...
Let $X=(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ be independent nonnegative random variables, not necessarily identically distributed. Let $D=(D_0,D_1,\ldots,D_n)\sim\operatorname{Dir}(1,\ldots,1)$ be independent of $X$, and define $K(x)=\mathbb{P}\{\sum_{i=1}^n x_iD_i\le1\}$. We prove that, for every $n\ge1$, whenever $\mathbb{E} X_i\le1$ fo...
Let $(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ be independent nonnegative random variables with $\mathbb{E} X_i\le1$, and write $S=\sum_iX_i$. For $\delta>0$, we prove that \[ \mathbb{P}\left(S<\mathbb{E} S+\delta\right)\ge b_{n,\delta}, \] where $b_{n,\delta}=\delta(n/(n+\delta))^n$ for $0<\delta<1$ and $b_{n,\delta}=(1-1/(n+\delta))^n$ for...

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_N$ be independent random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with common isotropic log-concave distribution $\mu$ and set $P_{N,n}^{\mu}:=\operatorname{conv}\{\pm X_i:1\leqslant i\leqslant N\}$. Assume that $N/n=\gamma\geqslant \gamma_0$ where $\gamma_0>1$ is an absolute constant. We prove that with probability...
We prove that there exist positive constants $A$ and $V$ such that the high-dimensional critical percolation $k$-point function is given by \[ T_{p_c}(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_{k}) \sim V^{k-2} A^{2k-3} \sum_{T\in \mathsf{Tr}(k)} \sum_{\substack{\Phi:V(T)\to \mathbb{Z}^d \\ \Phi(i)=x_i \forall 1\leq i \leq k}} \prod_{\substack...

Let $X=\{X_j\}_{j=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of independent random variables whose densities and moments of order $2d$ are uniformly bounded. For a random vector $f(X)=(f_1(X),f_2(X))$ whose components are polynomial functionals of degree at most $d$, we prove that \[ [[f]]_{\mu,\infty}^{\frac1{2d-1}}\mu(f\in A) \le C\bi...
