An extension of the Gaussian correlation conjecture (GCC) is proved for multivariate gamma distributions (in the sense of Krishnamoorthy and Parthasarathy). The classical GCC for Gaussian probability measures is obtained by the special case with one degree of freedom.

  • 2022
We consider an iterated Kolmogorov diffusion X t of step n . The small ball problem for X t is solved by means of the Gaussian correlation inequality. We also prove Chung’s laws of iterated logarithm…
Royen’s Proof of the Gaussian Correlation Inequality

TLDR
First, a specific case for a convex/log-concave correlation inequality for the standard multivariate Gaussian distribution is proved and it is proved that the max function is not symmetric about the origin, which implies that the variance of maxima of N i.i.d. standard Gaussians is decreasing in N.
