About the optimal density associated to the chiral index of a sample from a bivariate distribution
[À propos de la densité optimale associée à l'indice chiral d'un échantillon d'une distribution bivariée]

Nous montrons que la forme quadratique complexe zPz, où z est un vecteur donné dans Cn et z est son transposé, et P est une matrice de permutation, est une combinaison convexe des formes quadratiques zPσz, où les Pσ sont des matrices de permutation symétriques. On en déduit que la densité de probabilité optimale associée à l'indice chiral d'un échantillon d'une distribution bivariée est symétrique. Ce résultat est utilisé pour localiser la borne supérieure de l'indice chiral d'une distribution bivariée quelconque dans l'intervalle [11/π,11/2π].

The complex quadratic form zPz, where z is a fixed vector in Cn and z is its transpose, and P is any permutation matrix, is shown to be a convex combination of the quadratic forms zPσz, where Pσ denotes the symmetric permutation matrices. We deduce that the optimal probability density associated to the chiral index of a sample from a bivariate distribution is symmetric. This result is used to locate the upper bound of the chiral index of any bivariate distribution in the interval [11/π,11/2π].
