Convexités uniformes et inégalités de martingales. (Uniform convexity and inequalities for martingales) (Q1122102)

We study the uniform convexity in the complex sense and some inequalities for martingales with values in uniformly convex spaces (in the real or complex sense). We prove that the uniform \(H_ p\)-convexities are all equivalent for \(p\in (0,\infty)\) and we also obtain a quantitative relation between their moduli. We prove, in the second part of the paper, that a Banach space X is superreflexive if and only if for some \(0<p<\infty\) (and equivalently for all \(0<p<\infty)\), there exist \(0<C\), \(q<\infty\) such that for every X-valued harmonic function f in the unit disc and every sequence \(0\leq r_ 0<r_ 1<r_ 2<...<1\), we have \((f_ r(z)=f(rz),z\in T)\) \[ (\| f_{r_ 0}\|^ q_ p+\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}\| f_{r_ n}-f_{r_{n-1}}\|^ q_ p)^{1/q}\leq C\| \sup_{0\leq r<1}\| f_ r\| \|_ p. \]
