Description
Summary:We introduce the class AUMD of Banach spaces X for which X-valued analytic martingales converge unconditionally. We shew that various possible definitions of this class are equivalent by methods of martingale decomposition. We shew that such X have finite cotype and are q-complex uniformly convex in the sense of Garling. Using multipliers we shew that analytic martingales valued in L<sup>1</sup> converge unconditionally and that AUMD spaces have the analytic Radon-Nikodym property. We shew that X has the AUMD property if and only if strong Hbrmander-Mihlin multipliers are bounded on the Hardy space H<sup>1</sup><sub>x</sub>(T). We achieve this by representing multipliers as martingale transforms. It is shewn that if X is in AUMD and is of cotype two then X has the Paley Theorem property. Using an isomorphism result we shew that if A is an injective operator system on a separable Hilbert space and P a completely bounded projection on A, then either PA or (I-P)A is completely boundedly isomorphic to A. The finite-dimensional version of this result is deduced from Ramsey's Theorem. It is shewn that B(e<sup>2</sup> is primary. It is shewn that weakly compact homomorphisms T from the 2 disc algebra into B(e<sup>2</sup> are necessarily compact. An explicit form for such T is obtained using spectral projections and it is deduced that such T are absolutely summing.
