Extract

The principal purpose of this note is to give an elementary proof of an inequality, due to Pisier (proposition 2·4 of (4)), for martingales taking values in a Banach space X. This proof yields an explicit estimate, sharp when X is a Hilbert space, for one of the constants involved. The notation follows (1, 4).
