AbstractWe consider decoupling inequalities for random variables taking values in a Banach space X. We restrict the class of distributions that appear as conditional distributions while decoupling and show that each adapted process can be approximated by a Haar-type expansion in which only the pre-specified conditional distributions appear. Moreover, we show that in our framework a progressive enlargement of the underlying filtration does not affect the decoupling properties (in particular, it does not affect the constants involved). As a special case, we deal with one-sided moment inequalities for decoupled dyadic (i.e., Paley–Walsh) martingales and show that Burkholder–Davis–Gundy-type inequalities for stochastic integrals of X-valued processes can be obtained from decoupling inequalities for X-valued dyadic martingales.

Let{Xk}be independent random variables withEXk=0for allkand let{ank:n≥1, k≥1}be an array of real numbers. In this paper the almost sure convergence ofSn=∑k=1nankXk,n=1,2,…, to a constant is studied under various conditions on the weights{ank}and on the random variables{Xk}using martingale theory. In addition, the results are extended to weighted sums of random elements in Banach spaces which have Schauder bases. This extension provides a convergence theorem that applies to stochastic processes which may be considered as random elements in function spaces.

Let (rj) be a Rademacher sequence of random variables – that is, a sequence of independent random variables, with , for each j. A biorthogonal system in a Banach space X is called an RUC-system[l] if for every x in [ej] (the closed linear span of the vectors ej), the seriesconverges for almost every ω. A basis which, together with its coefficient functionals, forms an RUC-system is called an RUC-basis. A biorthogonal system is an RLTC-svstem if and only if there exists 1 ≤ K < ∞ such thatfor each x in [ej]: the RUC-constant of the system is the smallest constant K satisfying (1) (see [1], proposition 1.1).

Abstract In this paper we prove Burkholder–Davis–Gundy inequalities for a general martingale M with values in a UMD Banach space X. Assuming that $$M_0=0$$ M 0 = 0 , we show that the following two-sided inequality holds for all $$1\le p<\infty $$ 1 ≤ p < ∞ : Here $$ \gamma ([\![M]\!]_t) $$ γ ( [ [ M ] ] t ) is the $$L^2$$ L 2 -norm of the unique Gaussian measure on X having $$[\![M]\!]_t(x^*,y^*):= [\langle M,x^*\rangle , \langle M,y^*\rangle ]_t$$ [ [ M ] ] t ( x ∗ , y ∗ ) : = [ ⟨ M , x ∗ ⟩ , ⟨ M , y ∗ ⟩ ] t as its covariance bilinear form. This extends to general UMD spaces a recent result by Veraar and the author, where a pointwise version of ($$\star $$ ⋆ ) was proved for UMD Banach functions spaces X. We show that for continuous martingales, ($$\star $$ ⋆ ) holds for all $$0<p<\infty $$ 0 < p < ∞ , and that for purely discontinuous martingales the right-hand side of ($$\star $$ ⋆ ) can be expressed more explicitly in terms of the jumps of M. For martingales with independent increments, ($$\star $$ ⋆ ) is shown to hold more generally in reflexive Banach spaces X with finite cotype. In the converse direction, we show that the validity of ($$\star $$ ⋆ ) for arbitrary martingales implies the UMD property for X. As an application we prove various Itô isomorphisms for vector-valued stochastic integrals with respect to general martingales, which extends earlier results by van Neerven, Veraar, and Weis for vector-valued stochastic integrals with respect to a Brownian motion. We also provide Itô isomorphisms for vector-valued stochastic integrals with respect to compensated Poisson and general random measures.

The longstanding Banach–Mazur separable quotient problem asks whether every infinite-dimensional Banach space has a quotient (Banach) space that is both infinite-dimensional and separable. Although it remains open in general, an affirmative answer is known in many special cases, including (1) reflexive Banach spaces, (2) weakly compactly generated (WCG) spaces, and (3) Banach spaces which are dual spaces. Obviously (1) is a special case of both (2) and (3), but neither (2) nor (3) is a special case of the other. A more general result proved here includes all three of these cases. More precisely, we call an infinite-dimensional Banach space X dual-like, if there is another Banach space E, a continuous linear operator T from the dual space E * onto a dense subspace of X, such that the closure of the kernel of T (in the relative weak* topology) has infinite codimension in E * . It is shown that every dual-like Banach space has an infinite-dimensional separable quotient.

In a recent paper, Fenn (3) has established the following theorem: if ø is a piecewise linear involution on Sn without fixed points, if f: Sn → Sn and g: are continuous and the degree of f is odd, then there are points x and y on Sn such that f(x) = ø(f(y)) and g(x) = g(y). The Borsuk–Ulam theorem is the special case of this in which f is the identity and ø corresponds to reflexion in the origin. Since an infinite-dimensional version of the Borsuk–Ulam theorem is known, involving compact maps (see, for example, page 72 of (2)), it is natural to ask whether Fenn's result can also be extended to general Banach spaces, and in this paper we give such an extension when ø is reflexion in the origin. More precisely, we prove that if B is the closed unit ball in a Banach space X and f, g: B → X are compact, with deg (I − f, B, 0) odd (this is the Leray–Schauder degree and I is the identity map) and (I − g) (B) contained in a proper, closed subspace of X, then there exist x, y on the boundary ∂B of B and apositive numberα such that α(I − f) (x) = − (I − f) (y) and (I − g) (x) = (I – g) (y).

Abstract For a fixed sequence f. = (fn ) of independent identically distributed symmetric random variables with , we introduce the notion of Kf. -convex Banach space and the notions of (fn )-bounding and (fn )-converging operators acting between Banach spaces. It is shown that the dual of the space of (fn )-converging operators between a Hilbert space and a Kf. -convex Banach space admits a precise description in terms of trace duality. The obtained results recover similar formulations for almost summing and γ-Radonifying operators.
