Abstract
Motivated by the results from the classical probability theory, we introduce the concepts of tangency and weak domination of noncommutative martingales. Then we establish the weak-type and strong-type estimates arising in this context. The proof rests on a novel Gundy-type decomposition which is of independent interest. We also show the corresponding square function inequalities under the assumption of the weak domination, which extends Pisier and Xu’s Burkholder–Gundy inequalities. The results strengthen and extend the very recent works on noncommutative differentially subordinate martingales, which in turn, give rise to a new application in harmonic analysis: a weak-type estimate (along with a completely bounded version) for the directional Hilbert transform associated with quantum tori.
