The Gaussian Product Conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

Let d≥2d\geq 2, let (G1,…,Gd)(G_1,\ldots,G_d) be a dd-dimensional real-valued centered Gaussian vector, and let m≥1m\geq 1 be an integer. Gaussian Product Conjecture. One has

E[G12m⋯Gd2m]≥∏i=1dE[Gi2m].\mathbb{E}[G_1^{2m}\cdots G_d^{2m}]\geq\prod_{i=1}^d\mathbb{E}[G_i^{2m}].

This is an open problem and a natural real counterpart to the corresponding complex Gaussian moment inequality; its solution would imply the Real Polarization Problem.
