We prove a new Burkholder-Rosenthal type inequality for discrete-time processes taking values in a 2-smooth Banach space. As a first application we prove that if $(S(t,s))_{0\leq s\leq T}$ is a $C_0$-evolution family of contractions on a…

We obtain a condition for the $L^q$-convergence of martingales generated by random multiplicative cascade measures for $q>1$ without any self-similarity requirements on the cascades.

For a $d$-dimensional stochastic process $(S_n)_{n=0}^N$ we obtain criteria for the existence of an equivalent martingale measure, whose density $z$, up to a normalizing constant, is bounded from below by a given random variable $f$. We…

In this paper we study precise large deviations for the partial sums of a stationary sequence with a subexponential marginal distribution. Our main focus is on distributions which either have a regularly varying or a lognormal-type tail. We…

We prove deviation inequalities for sums of high-dimensional random matrices and operators with dependence and {\rc heavy tails}. Estimation of high-dimensional matrices is a concern for numerous modern applications. However, most results…

In this paper we prove Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequalities for a general martingale $M$ with values in a UMD Banach space $X$. Assuming that $M_0=0$, we show that the following two-sided inequality holds for all $1\leq p<\infty$:…

For $X(n)$ a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we study the maximal size of the random Dirichlet polynomial $$ D_N(t) = \frac1{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{n \leq N} X(n) n^{it}, $$ with $t$ in various ranges. In particular, for fixed $C>0$ and…

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:…

In this paper, we prove a lower bound for $\underset{\chi \neq \chi_0}{\max}\bigg|\sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\bigg|$, when $x= \frac{q}{(\log q)^B}$. This improves on a result of Granville and Soundararajan for large character sums when the…

In this paper upper bounds are given for the successive differences $A_{n+1}-A_{n}$ and B$_{n}-B_{n-1}$ where $A_{n}=1/(n-1) \tsum_{r=1}^{n-1}f(r/n)$, $B_{n}=1/(n+1) \tsum_{r=0}^{n}f(r/n)$ and $f$ is superquadratic function. We obtain…

We consider the moment space $\mathcal{M}_n^{K}$ corresponding to $p \times p$ complex matrix measures defined on $K$ ($K=[0,1]$ or $K=\D$). We endow this set with the uniform law. We are mainly interested in large deviations principles…

Motivated by metastability in the zero-range process, we consider i.i.d.\ random variables with values in $\N_0$ and Weibull-like (stretched exponential) law $\mathbb P(X_i =k) = c \exp( - k^\alpha)$, $\alpha \in (0,1)$. We condition on…

We characterize the UMD property of a Banach space by tail inequalities for maximal functions of tangent conditionally symmetric processes. More precisely, we prove that a Banach space $V$ is UMD if and only if for some (equivalently, for…

We obtain some maximal probability and moment inequalities for multidimensionally indexed demimartingales. Although the class of single-indexed demimartingales has been studied extensively, no significant amount of work has been done for…

In this paper we study upper and lower bounds on the Bregman divergence $\Delta_{\mathcal{F}}^{\xi}(y,x):=\mathcal{F}(y)-\mathcal{F}(x)-\langle \xi, y-x\rangle $ for some convex functional $\mathcal{F}$ on a normed space $\mathcal{X}$, with…

We obtain functional central limit theorems for both discrete time expressions of the form $1/\sqrt{N}\sum_{n=1}^{[Nt]}(F(X(q_1(n)),\ldots, X(q_{\ell}(n)))-\bar{F})$ and similar expressions in the continuous time where the sum is replaced…

We obtain first decay rates of probabilities of tails of multivariate polynomials built on independent random variables with heavy tails. Then we derive stable limit theorems for nonconventional sums of the form $\sum_{Nt\geq n\geq…

We derive optimal regularity, in both time and space, for solutions of the Cauchy problem related to a degenerate differential equation in a Banach space X. Our results exhibit a sort of prevalence for space regularity, in the sense that…
