Bounds on the concentration function in terms of Diophantine approximation

arXiv:0706.2679

Abstract

We demonstrate a simple analytic argument that may be used to bound the Levy concentration function of a sum of independent random variables. The main application is a version of a recent inequality due to Rudelson and Vershynin, and its multidimensional generalisation.
