Matrix Concentration for Products

Abstract

This paper develops nonasymptotic growth and concentration bounds for a product of independent random matrices. These results sharpen and generalize recent work of Henriksen–Ward, and they are similar in spirit to the results of Ahlswede–Winter and of Tropp for a sum of independent random matrices. The argument relies on the uniform smoothness properties of the Schatten trace classes.
