We consider generalized square function norms of holomorphic functions with values in a Banach space. One of the main results is a characterization of embeddings of the form $L^p\left(X\right)\subseteq \gamma \left(X\right)\subseteq L^q\left(X\right)$, in terms of the type p and cotype q of the Banach space X. As an application we prove $L^p$-estimates for vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Stein g-functions and derive an embedding result for real and complex interpolation spaces under type and cotype conditions.

We study the way in which the Euclidean subspaces of a Banach space fit together, somewhat in the spirit of the Kashin decomposition. The main tool that we introduce is an estimate regarding the convex hull of a convex body in John's position with a Euclidean ball of a given radius, which leads to a new and simplified proof of the randomized isomorphic Dvoretzky theorem. Our results also include a characterization of spaces with nontrivial cotype in terms of arrangements of Euclidean subspaces.
