The strong Gaussian product conjecture for even exponents

From papers

Let nNn\in\mathbb{N} and let p1,,pn2Np_1,\dots,p_n\in 2\mathbb{N}. For a real centered Gaussian vector (X1,,Xn)(X_1,\dots,X_n), the statement GPIn(p1,,pn)\mathbf{GPI}_n(p_1,\dots,p_n) means

E[i=1nXipi]i=1nE[Xipi],\mathbb{E}\left[\prod_{i=1}^n |X_i|^{p_i}\right]\geq\prod_{i=1}^n\mathbb{E}\left[|X_i|^{p_i}\right],

with equality if and only if X1,,XnX_1,\dots,X_n are independent. Strong Gaussian product conjecture. For all nNn\in\mathbb{N} and all p1,,pn2Np_1,\dots,p_n\in 2\mathbb{N}, GPIn(p1,,pn)\mathbf{GPI}_n(p_1,\dots,p_n) holds. The result in the paper proves the case n=3n=3; the conjecture remains unresolved in general.
