Sharp moment estimates for martingales with uniformly bounded square functions

Probability 2022-08-09 v2 Classical Analysis and ODEs

Abstract

We provide sharp bounds for the exponential moments and pp-moments, 1p21\leqslant p \leqslant 2, of the terminate distribution of a martingale whose square function is uniformly bounded by one. We introduce a Bellman function for the corresponding extremal problem and reduce it to the already known Bellman function on BMO([0,1])\mathrm{BMO}([0,1]). In the case of tail estimates, a similar reduction does not work exactly, so we come up with a fine supersolution that leads to sharp tail estimates.
