Convergence of quadratic forms in p-stable random variables and \(\theta _ p\)-radonifying operators (Q1064607)

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the almost sure convergence of the quadratic form \(\sum \sum f_{jk}M_ jM_ k\), where \((M_ j)\) is a sequence of i.i.d. p-stable random variables. A connection is established between the convergence of quadratic form and a radonifying operator associated with the matrix \((f_{jk})\).
