Concentration of quadratic forms under a Bernstein moment assumption

Abstract

A concentration result for quadratic form of independent subgaussian random variables is derived. If the moments of the random variables satisfy a "Bernstein condition", then the variance term of the Hanson-Wright inequality can be improved. The Bernstein condition is satisfied, for instance, by all log-concave subgaussian distributions.
