We prove the 3-dimensional Gaussian product inequality, i.e., for any real-valued centered Gaussian random vector (X, Y, Z) and m ∈ N, it holds thatOur proof is based on some improved inequalities on multi-term products involving 2-dimensional Gaussian random vectors. The improved inequalities are derived using the Gaussian hypergeometric functions and have independent interest. As by-products, several new combinatorial identities and inequalities are obtained.
