Resumen: We prove some probabilistic estimates for tensor products of random vectors, generalizing results that were obtained by Gordon, Litvak, Schu ¨tt, and Werner [Ann. Probab., 30(4):1833–1853, 2002], and Prochno and Riemer [Houst. J. Math., 39(4):1301–1311, 2013]. As an application we obtain embeddings of certain matrix spaces into L1.
