contents We prove Fuk-Nagaev and Rosenthal-type inequalities for sums of independent random matrices, focusing on the situation when the norms of the matrices possess finite moments of only low orders. Our bounds depend on the ``intrinsic'' dimensional characteristics such as the effective rank, as opposed to the dimension of the ambient space. We illustrate the advantages of such results through several applications, including new moment inequalities for sample covariance matrices and their eigenvectors when the underlying distribution is heavy-tailed. Moreover, we demonstrate that our techniques yield sharpened versions of moment inequalities for empirical processes.
