Abstract

In this paper, we obtain a Bernstein-type inequality for the sum of self-adjoint centered and geometrically absolutely regular random matrices with bounded largest eigenvalue. This inequality can be viewed as an extension to the matrix setting of the Bernstein-type inequality obtained by Merlevède et al. [Bernstein inequality and moderate deviations under strong mixing conditions, in High Dimensional Probability V: The Luminy Volume, Institute of Mathematical Statistics Collection, Vol. 5 (Institute of Mathematical Statistics, Beachwood, OH, 2009), pp. 273-292.] in the context of real-valued bounded random variables that are geometrically absolutely regular. The proofs rely on decoupling the Laplace transform of a sum on a Cantor-like set of random matrices.
