Show that there exists a real $\alpha > 0$ such that $$\forall \theta \in [ - \pi , \pi ] , 1 - \cos \theta \geq \alpha \theta ^ { 2 }$$ Using question $9 \triangleright$, deduce from this that there exist three real numbers $t _ { 0 } > 0 , \beta > 0$ and $\gamma > 0$ such that, for all $\left. t \in ] 0 , t _ { 0 } \right]$ and all $\theta \in [ - \pi , \pi ]$, $$| h ( t , \theta ) | \leq e ^ { - \beta \left( \sigma _ { t } \theta \right) ^ { 2 } } \quad \text { or } \quad | h ( t , \theta ) | \leq e ^ { - \gamma \left( \sigma _ { t } | \theta | \right) ^ { 2 / 3 } }$$
Show that there exists a real $a > 0$ such that $$\forall \theta \in [-\pi,\pi], 1-\cos\theta \geq a\theta^2.$$ Deduce that there exist three reals $t_0 > 0$, $\beta > 0$ and $\gamma > 0$ such that, for all $t \in ]0,t_0]$ and all $\theta \in [-\pi,\pi]$, $$\left|\frac{P(e^{-t}e^{i\theta})}{P(e^{-t})}\right| \leq e^{-\beta(t^{-3/2}\theta)^2} \quad \text{or} \quad \left|\frac{P(e^{-t}e^{i\theta})}{P(e^{-t})}\right| \leq e^{-\gamma(t^{-3/2}|\theta|)^{2/3}}.$$

Let $S_N = \sum_{n=0}^N X_n a_n$ and let $A_j = \{|S_{\phi(j+1)} - S_{\phi(j)}| > 2^{-j}\}$. Using the sequence $(\phi(j))_{j \in \mathbb{N}}$ satisfying $\sum_{n > \phi(j)}^{+\infty} a_n^2 \leqslant \frac{1}{8^j}$, deduce the bound $\mathbb{P}(A_j) \leqslant 2^{-j}$.
