摘要:
We prove new lower bounds for the upper tail probabilities of suprema of Gaussian processes. Unlike many existing bounds, our results are not asymptotic, but supply strong information when one is only a little into the upper tail. We present an extended application to a Gaussian version of a random process studied by Halasz. This leads to much improved lower bound results for the sum of a random multiplicative function. We further illustrate our methods by improving lower bounds for some classical constants from extreme value theory, the Pickands constants H-alpha, as alpha -> 0.
