Abstract

The long-standing Gaussian product inequality (GPI) conjecture states that E[∏j=1n|Xj|αj]≥∏j=1nE[|Xj|αj] for any centered Gaussian random vector (X1,…,Xn) and any non-negative real numbers αj, j=1,…,n. In this note, we prove a novel “opposite GPI” for centered bivariate Gaussian random variables when −1<α1<0 and α2>0: E[|X1|α1|X2|α2]≤E[|X1|α1]E[|X2|α2]. This completes the picture of bivariate Gaussian product relations.
