Description
Summary:Let Xn n > 1, be a sequence of positive random numbers, let Xn,1 > Xn,2 > ...> Xn,n be the decreasing rearrangement of X,,. We are going to find necessary and sufficient conditions for hypercontractivity of the order statistics Xn,k when k is a constant. Then we will turn our attention to the large increments of fractional Brownian motion. We prove series tests of the upper-upper and upper-lower classes for the large increments of fractional Brownian motion. We will also consider vector-valued fractional Brownian motion, the upper-upper and upper-lower classes for the large increments are then completely characterized.
