Let ( M n ) n 0 be a zero-mean martingale with canonical filtration ( n ) n 0 and stochastically L 2 -bounded increments Y 1 , Y 2 , . . . , which means that P ( | Y n | > t | n - 1 ) 1 - H ( t ) a.s. for all n ≥ 1, t > 0 and some square-integrable distribution H on [0,∞). Let V 2 = n 1 E ( Y n 2 | n - 1 ) . It is the main result of this paper that each such martingale is a.s. convergent on V < ∞ and recurrent on V = ∞, i.e. P ( M n [ - c , c ] i . o . | V = ) = 1 for some c > 0. This generalizes a recent result by Durrett, Kesten and Lawler [4] who consider the case of only finitely many square-integrable increment...
