By elementary geometric arguments, correlation inequalities for radially symmetric probability measures are proved in the plane. Precisely, it is shown that the correlation ratio for pairs of width-decreasing sets is minimized within the class of infinite strips. Since open convex sets which are symmetric with respect to the origin turn out to be width-decreasing sets, Pitt's Gaussian correlation inequality (the two-dimensional case of the long-standing Gaussian correlation conjecture) is derived as a corollary, and it is in fact extended to a wide class of radially symmetric measures.
En utilisant des arguments géométriques élémentaires, on démontre des inégalités de corrélation pour des mesures de probabilité à symétrie radiale. Plus précisément on montre que, parmi la famille des ensembles width-decreasing, le ratio de corrélation est minimisé par des bandes. Comme les ouverts convexes symétriques appartiennent à cette famille, on retrouve comme corollaire le résultat de Pitt sur la validité de la conjecture de corrélation gaussiennne en dimension 2, qui est étendue dans ce papier à une large classe de mesures à symétrie radiale.
