Our second result asserts that the distribution of a non-constant polynomial of order $d$ (possibly, in infinitely many variables) with respect to a Gaussian measure always belongs to the Besov--Nikol'skii space $N^{1/d}$, and an analogous result holds for polynomial mappings with values in $\\mathbb{R}^k$. Finally, we consider the total variation distance between the distributions of two random $k$-dimensional vectors composed of polynomials of order $d$ in Gaussian variables. This distance is estimated by a fractional power of the Kantorovich distance with an exponent depending only on $d$ and $k$, but not on the number of variables of the considered polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-02-16T21:17:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kantorovich distance", "polynomial", "fractional analog", "hardy-landau-littlewood inequality", "total variation distance" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160205207B" } } }
