Abstract

We prove an abstract comparison principle which translates gaussian cotype into Rademacher cotype conditions and vice versa. More precisely, let 2 < q < ∞ and T: C(K) → F a continuous linear operator. (1) T is of gaussian cotype q if and only if (k(TxkFlog(k+1))q)1qckɛkxkL2(C(K)), for all sequences (xk)kC(K) with (Txk)k=1n decreasing. (2) T is of Rademacher cotype q if and only if (k(TxkF((log(k+1))q))1qckgkxkL2(C(K)), for all sequences (xk)kC(K) with (Txk)k=1n decreasing. Our method allows a restriction to a fixed number of vectors and complements the corresponding results of Talagrand.
