Tight lower bounds for anti-concentration of Rademacher sums and Tomaszewski's counterpart problem
read the original abstract
In this paper we prove that $\mathbb{P}(|X| \geq \sqrt{\text{Var}(X)}) \geq 7/32$ for every finite Rademacher sum $X$, confirming a conjecture by Hitczenko and Kwapie{\'n} from 1994, and improving upon results from Burkholder, Oleszkiewicz, and Dvo\v{r}\'ak and Klein. Moreover we fully determine the function $f(y)= \inf_X \mathbb{P}(|X| \geq y\sqrt{\text{Var}(X)})$ where the $\inf$ is taken over all finite Rademacher sums $X$, confirming a conjecture by Lowther and giving a partial answer to a question by Keller and Klein.
