Let X, X-1,..., X-n,. be i.i.d. centered Gaussian random variables in a separable Banach space E with covariance operator Sigma:Sigma:E* -> E, Sigma u = E(X,u)X, u is an element of E*.The sample covariance operator Sigma : E* -> E is defined asSigma u := n(-1) Sigma(n)(j=1) (X-j,U)X-j, u is an element of E*The goal of the paper is to obtain concentration inequalities and expectation bounds for the operator norm parallel to Sigma -Sigma parallel to of the deviation of the sample covariance operator from the true covariance operator. In particular, it is shown thatE parallel to Sigma -Sigma parallel to parallel to Sigma parallel to (root r(Sigma)/n v r(Sigma) /n),wherer(Sigma) := (E)parallel to X parallel to)(2)/parallel to Sigma parallel toparallel to Sigma -Sigma parallel to - M vertical bar less than or similar to parallel to Sigma parallel to (root t/n v t/n),where M is either the median, or the expectation of parallel to Sigma -Sigma parallel to.On the other hand, under the assumption that r(Sigma) > n, for all t > 1, with probability at least 1- e(-t.)parallel to Sigma -Sigma parallel to - M vertical bar less than or similar to parallel to Sigma parallel to (root r(Sigma)/n root t/n v t/n).
