Abstract: We prove that non-commutative martingale transforms are of weak type (1,1). More precisely, there is an absolute constant C such that if M is a semi-finite von Neumann algebra and (Mn)n=1infty is an increasing filtration of von Neumann subalgebras of M then for any non-commutative martingale x=(xn)n=1infty in L1(M), adapted to (Mn)n=1infty, and any sequence of signs (epsilonn)n=1infty, leftVert epsilon_1 x_1 + sum_{n=2}^N epsilon_n(x_n -x_{n-1}) ightVert_{1,infty} leq C leftVert x_N ightVert_1 for Ngeq2. This generalizes a result of Burkholder from classical martingale theory to non-commutative setting and answers positively a question of Pisier and Xu. As applications, we get the optimal order of the UMD-constants of the Schatten class Sp when poinfty. Similarly, we prove that the UMD-constant of the finite dimensional Schatten class Sn1 is of order log(n+1). We also discuss the Pisier-Xu non-commutative Burkholder-Gundy inequalities.
