Let α ∈ [0,1] be a fixed parameter. We show that for any nonnegative submartingale X and any semimartingale Y which is α-subordinate to X, we have the sharp estimate
$∥Y∥_{W} ≤ (2(α+1)²)/(2α+1) ∥X∥_{L^∞}$.
Here W is the weak-$L^∞$ space introduced by Bennett, DeVore and Sharpley. The inequality is already sharp in the context of α-subordinate Itô processes.
