Bounds for partial derivatives: necessity of UMD and sharp constants

Abstract: We prove the necessity of the UMD condition, with a quantitative estimate of the UMD constant, for any inequality in a family of

L^{p}

bounds between different partial derivatives

of

u i n C^{i} n f t y_{c} (m a t h b b R^{n}, X)

. In particular, we show that the estimate

| u_{x y} |_{p} l e q K (| u_{x x} |_{p} + | u_{y y} |_{p})

characterizes the UMD property, and the best constant

K

is equal to one half of the UMD constant. This precise value of

K

seems to be new even for scalar-valued functions.
