Abstract

Let Xi be a sequence of independent symmetric real random variables with logarithmically concave tails. We consider a variable X=ijai,jXiXj, where ai,j are real numbers. We derive approximate formulas for the tails and moments of X and of its decoupled version, which are exact up to some universal constants.
