Abstract

We provide moment bounds for expressions of the type (X(1)⊗⋯⊗X(d))TA(X(1)⊗⋯⊗X(d)) where ⊗ denotes the Kronecker product and X(1), … , X(d) are random vectors with independent, mean 0, variance 1, subgaussian entries. The bounds are tight up to constants depending on d for the case of Gaussian random vectors. Our proof also provides a decoupling inequality for expressions of this type. Using these bounds, we obtain new, improved concentration inequalities for expressions of the form ‖ B(X(1)⊗ ⋯ ⊗ X(d)) ‖ 2.
