Isoperimetry between exponential and Gaussian
We study the isoperimetric problem for product probability measures with tails between the exponential and the Gaussian regime. In particular we exhibit many examples where coordinate half-spaces are approximate solutions of the isoperimetric problem.

متن کاملPortfolio Diversification under Local and Moderate Deviations from Power Laws
This paper analyzes portfolio diversification for nonlinear transformations of heavy-tailed risks. It is shown that diversification of a portfolio of convex functions of heavy-tailed risks increases the portfolio’s riskiness, if expectations of these risks are infinite. On the contrary, for concave functions of heavy-tailed risks with finite expectations, the stylized fact that diversification ...
متن کاملUniform Large Deviations for Heavy-Tailed Queues under Heavy Tra¢ c
We provide a complete large and moderate deviations asymptotic for the steady-state waiting time of a class of subexponential M=G=1 queues under heavy tra¢ c. The asymptotic is uniform over the positive axis, and reduces to heavy-tra¢ c asymptotics and heavy-tail asymptotics on two ends, both of which are known to be valid over restricted asymptotic regimes. The link between these two well-know...
متن کاملLarge deviations for point processes based on stationary sequences with heavy tails
In many applications involving functional large deviations for partial sums of stationary, but not iid, processes with heavy tails, a curious phenomenon arises: closely grouped together large jumps coalesce together in the limit, leading to loss of information of the order in which these jumps arrive. In particular, many functionals of interest become discontinuous. To overcome this problem we ...
