Abstract

We prove a vector-valued version of Carleson’s theorem: let \(Y=[X,H]_\theta \) be a complex interpolation space between an unconditionality of martingale differences (UMD) space \(X\) and a Hilbert space \(H\). For \(p\in (1,\infty )\) and \(f\in L^p(\mathbb T ;Y)\), the partial sums of the Fourier series of \(f\) converge to \(f\) pointwise almost everywhere. Apparently, all known examples of UMD spaces are of this intermediate form \(Y=[X,H]_\theta \). In particular, we answer affirmatively a question of Rubio de Francia on the pointwise convergence of Fourier series of Schatten class valued functions.
