Abstract: Given a probability space (Omega,mathsfA,mu), let mathsfA1,mathsfA2,... be a filtration of sigma-subalgebras of mathsfA and let mathsfE1,mathsfE2,... denote the corresponding family of conditional expectations. Given a martingale f=(f1,f2,...) adapted to this filtration and bounded in Lp(Omega) for some 2lep<infty, Burkholder's inequality claims that |f|_{L_p(Omega)} sim_{mathrm{c}_p} Big| Big(sum_{k=1}^infty mathsf{E}_{k-1}(|df_k|^2) Big)^{1/2} Big|_{L_{p}(Omega)} + Big(sum_{k=1}^infty |df_k|_p^p Big)^{1/p}. Motivated by quantum probability, Junge and Xu recently extended this result to the range 1<p<2. In this paper we study Burkholder's inequality for p=1, for which the techniques (as we shall explain) must be different. Quite surprisingly, we obtain two non-equivalent estimates which play the role of the weak type (1,1) analog of Burkholder's inequality. As application, we obtain new properties of Davis decomposition for martingales.
