On a multivariate version of Bernstein’s inequality. (English) Zbl 1127.60017

Summary: We prove a multivariate version of Bernstein’s inequality about the tail distribution of degenerate \(U\)-statistics which is an improvement of some former results. This estimate is compared with an analogous bound about the tail distribution of multiple Wiener-Itô integrals. Their comparison shows that our estimate is sharp. The proof is based on good estimates about high moments of degenerate \(U\)-statistics. They are obtained by means of a diagram formula which enables us to express the product of degenerate \(U\)-statistics as the sum of such expressions.
