Disjointification inequalities are proven for arbitrary martingale difference sequences and conditionally independent random variables of the form ${f_k\left(s\right)x_k\left(t\right)}_{k=1}ⁿ$, where $f_k$’s are independent and xk’s are arbitrary random variables from a symmetric space X on [0,1]. The main results show that the form of these inequalities depends on which side of L₂ the space X lies on. The disjointification inequalities obtained allow us to compare norms of sums of martingale differences and non-negative random variables with...

The structure of the closed linear span of the Rademacher functions in the Cesàro space $Ce{s}_{\infty }$ is investigated. It is shown that every infinite-dimensional subspace of either is isomorphic to l₂ and uncomplemented in $Ce{s}_{\infty }$, or contains a subspace isomorphic to c₀ and complemented in . The situation is rather different in the p-convexification of $Ce{s}_{\infty }$ if 1 < p < ∞.

The interpolation properties of Cesàro sequence and function spaces are investigated. It is shown that $Ce{s}_p\left(I\right)$ is an interpolation space between $Ce{s}_{p₀}\left(I\right)$ and $Ce{s}_{p₁}\left(I\right)$ for 1 < p₀ < p₁ ≤ ∞ and 1/p = (1 - θ)/p₀ + θ/p₁ with 0 < θ < 1, where I = [0,∞) or [0,1]. The same result is true for Cesàro sequence spaces. On the other hand, $Ce{s}_p[0,1]$ is not an interpolation space between Ces₁[0,1] and $Ce{s}_{\infty }[0,1]$.

Geometric structure of Cesàro function spaces $Ce{s}_p\left(I\right)$, where I = [0,1] and [0,∞), is investigated. Among other matters we present a description of their dual spaces, characterize the sets of all q ∈ [1,∞] such that $Ce{s}_p[0,1]$ contains isomorphic and complemented copies of $l_q$-spaces, show that Cesàro function spaces fail the fixed point property, give a description of subspaces generated by Rademacher functions in spaces $Ce{s}_p[0,1]$.

The Rademacher sums are investigated in the BMO space on [0,1]. They span an uncomplemented subspace, in contrast to the dyadic $BM{O}_d$ space on [0,1], where they span a complemented subspace isomorphic to l₂. Moreover, structural properties of infinite-dimensional closed subspaces of the span of the Rademacher functions in BMO are studied and an analog of the Kadec-Pełczyński type alternative with l₂ and c₀ spaces is proved.

Some new examples of K-monotone couples of the type (X,X(w)), where X is a symmetric space on [0,1] and w is a weight on [0,1], are presented. Based on the property of w-decomposability of a symmetric space we show that, if a weight w changes sufficiently fast, all symmetric spaces X with non-trivial Boyd indices such that the Banach couple (X,X(w)) is K-monotone belong to the class of ultrasymmetric Orlicz spaces. If, in addition, the fundamental function of X is $t^{1/p}$ for some p ∈ [1,∞], then $X=L_p$. At...
