The relevant invariance principle for a low-degree multilinear polynomial is the following. Let and be sequences of independent random variables satisfyingIf is multilinear of degree at most and , then
For the proof, use the Lindeberg replacement method. Replace by one coordinate at a time and write , where and depend only on the other coordinates. A third-order Taylor expansion of has identical expected terms through order three for and , because the first three moments match. Each fourth-order remainder is bounded by , so the th replacement costs at mostPart (i), applied in the hybrid product space, bounds each of the two fourth-moment terms by . Thus the cost is at most . The triangle inequality and summation over prove the result.
