UMD constant of finite dimensional spaces
For a Banach space $B$, its one-sided Unconditional Martingale Difference (UMD) constant $C^-_p$ (for $p \in (1,\infty)$) is the smallest value such that for all $B$-valued martingale difference ...

Distribution domination for sums of independent random variables in Banach spaces
Let $X$ be a Banach space and let $(\xi_n)$ and $(\eta_n)$ be independent mean-zero random variables with values in $X$ satisfying
$$
\sum_n \mathbb P(\xi_n \in A) \leq \sum_n \mathbb P(\eta_n \in A),

Given that a conditional measure is Gaussian, how bad can the original measure be?
Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, and let $\varphi : X \to Y$ be a continuous linear map. Suppose that $\mathbb P$ is a probability measure on $X$ which satisfies the continuous disintegration ...

Example of a non-reflexive Banach space and two sequences
Let $(E,\mathcal {A}, \mu ) $ be a finite measure space and $X$ be a Banach space. The set of all Bochner-integrable functions from $E$ into $X$ is denoted by $\mathcal{L}_X^1$.
If $X$ is reflexive, ...

Supremum of sums of functions in $L^1$ taking random signs
Consider the Banach space $X=L^1([0,1])$, and let $n\gg1$ and $x_1, ..., x_n$ be any points in the unit sphere of $X$.
Is there any reasonable lower bound for $$\sup_{(\epsilon_i)_{i=1}^n \in \{-1,+1\}...

Convex optimization under asymmetric loss in infinite dimensional space
The following problem is common in financial economics
$$ \min_{m \in L^2} \mathbb{E}[ \phi(y(\theta)-m)] \quad \text{s.t. } \mathbb{E}[ mx ]= q $$
That is, given a random variable $y(\theta)$ ($\...

Bounds on $\inf_{x,x' \in \mathbb B_X}TV(P+x,Q+x')$, where $P$ and $Q$ are distributions with density on the space $X=(\mathbb R^n,\ell_p)$
Let $n \ge 1$ be an integer, $p \in [1,\infty]$, and $P$ and $Q$ be two (probability) measures on the metric space space $X=(\mathbb R^n,\ell_p)$ which have densities w.r.t the Lebesgue measure on $X$,...
