Doob's estimate for coherent random variables and maximal operators on trees
maximal operators on trees

Abstract:
Let ξ be an integrable
random variable defined on (Ω,ℱ,â„™). Fix k ∈ ℤ+ and let {ð’¢ij}1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ k
be a reference family of sub-σ-fields of ℱ such that {ð’¢ij}1 ≤ i ≤ n
is a filtration for each j ∈ {1, …, k}. In this
article we explain the underlying connection between the analysis of the
maximal functions of the corresponding coherent vector and basic
combinatorial properties of the uncentered Hardy–Littlewood maximal
operator. Following a classical approach of Grafakos, Kinnunen and
Montgomery-Smith, we establish an appropriate version of Doob’s
celebrated maximal estimate.
