Let $\{d_k\}_{k \geq 0}$ be a complex martingale difference in $L^p[0,1],$ where $1<p<\infty,$ and $\{\e_k\}_{k \geq 0}$ a sequence in $\{\pm 1\}.$ We obtain the following generalization of Burkholder's famous result. If $\tau \in [-\frac…
We revisit the celebrated family of BDG-inequalities introduced by Burkholder, Gundy \cite{BuGu70} and Davis \cite{Da70} for continuous martingales. For the inequalities $\mathbb{E}[\tau^{\frac{p}{2}}] \leq C_p \mathbb{E}[(B^*(\tau))^p]$…
Let $M,N$ be real-valued martingales such that $N$ is differentially subordinate to $M$. The paper contains the proofs of the following weak-type inequalities: (i) If $M\geq0$ and $0<p\leq1$, then \[\Vert N\Vert_{p,\infty}\leq2\Vert…
We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions of non-commutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in $L^2$ and $L^1$. More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical result of Burkholder holds:…
We prove that non-commutative martingale transforms are of weak type $(1,1)$. More precisely, there is an absolute constant $C$ such that if $\M$ is a semi-finite von Neumann algebra and $(\M_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is an increasing filtration of…
In the paper we study sharp maximal inequalities for martingales and non-negative submartingales: if $f$, $g$ are martingales satisfying \[|\mathrm{d}g_n|\leq|\mathrm{d}f_n|,\qquad n=0,1,2,...,\] almost surely, then…
We obtain a sharp estimate for the best constant $C>0$ in the Wirtinger type inequality \[ \int_0^{2\pi}\gamma^pw^2\le C\int_0^{2\pi}\gamma^qw'^2 \] where $\gamma$ is bounded above and below away from zero, $w$ is $2\pi$-periodic and such…
Burkholder obtained a sharp estimate of $\E|W|^p$ via $\E|Z|^p$, where $W$ is a martingale transform of $Z$, or, in other words, for martingales $W$ differentially subordinated to martingales $Z$. His result is that $\E|W|^p\le…
Given a probability space $(\Omega, \mathsf{A}, \mu)$, let $\mathsf{A}_1, \mathsf{A}_2, ...$ be a filtration of $\sigma$-subalgebras of $\mathsf{A}$ and let $\mathsf{E}_1, \mathsf{E}_2, ...$ denote the corresponding family of conditional…
For each 1 < p < infinity, there exists a positive constant c_p, depending only on p, such that the following holds. Let (d_k), (e_k) be real-valued martingale difference sequences. If for for all bounded nonnegative predictable sequences…
Under certain conditions on an integrable function f having a real-valued Fourier transform Tf=F, we obtain a certain estimate for the oscillation of F in the interval [-C||f'||/||f||,C||f'||/||f||] with C>0 an absolute constant. Given q>0…
For any two real-valued continuous-path martingales $X=\{X_t\}_{t\geq 0}$ and $Y=\{Y_t\}_{t\geq 0}$, with $X$ and $Y$ being orthogonal and $Y$ being differentially subordinate to $X$, we obtain sharp $L^p$ inequalities for martingales of…
It is well known that there is an absolute constant $\mathfrak{C}>0$ such that if the Laplace transform $G(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty}\rho(x)e^{-s x}\:\mathrm{d}x$ of a bounded function $\rho$ has analytic continuation through every point of the…
We determine the optimal orders for the best constants in the non-commutative Burkholder-Gundy, Doob and Stein inequalities obtained recently in the non-commutative martingale theory.
We consider the generalized Wirtinger inequality \[ (\int_{0}^{T} a |u|^q )^{1/q} \le C \biggm(\int_{0}^{T} a^{1-p} |u'|^{p}\biggm)^{1/p}, \] with $p,q>1$, $T>0$, $a\in L^1[0,T]$, $a\ge0$, $a\not\equiv0$ and where $u$ is a $T$-periodic…
A martingale transform $ T$, applied to an integrable locally supported function $ f$, is pointwise dominated by a positive sparse operator applied to $ \lvert f\rvert $, the choice of sparse operator being a function of $ T$ and $ f$. As a…
The motivation for this paper comes from the following question on comparison of norms of conformal martingales $X$, $Y$ in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. Suppose that $Y$ is differentially subordinate to $X$. For $0<p<\infty$, what is the optimal…

In this note we give a new proof of the sharp constant $C = e^{-1/2} + \int_0^1 e^{-x^2/2}\,dx$ in the weak (1, 1) inequality for the dyadic square function. The proof makes use of two Bellman functions $\mathbb{L}$ and $\mathbb{M}$ related…
