Abstract
In this paper, we establish \(\mathcal B\)-valued variational inequalities for differential operators, ergodic averages and symmetric diffusion semigroups under the condition that Banach space \(\mathcal B\) has martingale cotype property. These results generalize, on the one hand Pisier and Xu’s result on the variational inequalities for \(\mathcal B\)-valued martingales, on the other hand many classical variational inequalities in harmonic analysis and ergodic theory. Moreover, we show that Rademacher cotype q is necessary for the \(\mathcal B\)-valued q-variational inequalities. As applications of the variational inequalities, we deduce the jump estimates and obtain quantitative information on the rate of convergence. It turns out the rate of convergence depends upon the geometry of the Banach space under consideration, while Cowling and Leinert have shown that convergence holds for all separable Banach spaces.
