Abstract: We investigate the square variation operator V2 (which majorizes the partial sum maximal operator) on general orthonormal systems (ONS) of size N. We prove that the L2 norm of the V2 operator is bounded by O(ln(N)) on any ONS. This result is sharp and refines the classical Rademacher-Menshov theorem. We show that this can be improved to O(sqrtln(N)) for the trigonometric system, which is also sharp. We show that for any choice of coefficients, this truncation of the trigonometric system can be rearranged so that the L2 norm of the associated V2 operator is O(sqrtlnln(N)). We also show that for p>2, a bounded ONS of size N can be rearranged so that the L2 norm of the Vp operator is at most Op(lnln(N)) uniformly for all choices of coefficients. This refines Bourgain's work on Garsia's conjecture, which is equivalent to the Vinfty case. Several other results on operators of this form are also obtained. The proofs rely on combinatorial and probabilistic methods.


Using combinatorial and probabilistic arguments, the authors prove a series of important results on the square variation operator, while the latter majorizes the partial sum maximal operator. Among them refinements of the classical Rademacher-Menshov theorem, of Bourgain's work, etc. In these results, the \(N\)-th partial sums with respect to any orthonormal system are bounded by appropriate sharp powers of \(\log N\).
