q-Chaos

We consider the $L_p$ norm estimates for homogeneous polynomials of $q$-gaussian variables ($-1\leq q\leq 1$). When $-1<q<1$ the $L_p$ estimates for $1\leq p \leq 2$ are essentially the same as the free case ($q=0$), whilst the $L_p$ estimates for $2\leq p \leq \infty$ show a strong $q$-dependence. Moreover, the extremal cases $q = \pm 1$ produce decisively different formulae.
