Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Mathematics / Charles N. Moore / The main purpose of this thesis is to derive the law of the iterated logarithm for tail sums in various contexts in analysis. The various contexts are sums of Rademacher functions, general dyadic martingales, independent random variables and lacunary trigonometric series. We name the law of the iterated logarithm for tail sums as tail law of the iterated logarithm. We first establish the tail law of the iterated logarithm for sums of Rademacher functions and obtain both upper and lower bound in it. Sum of Rademacher functions is a nicely behaved dyadic martingale. With the ideas from the Rademacher case, we then establish the tail law of the iterated logarithm for general dyadic martingales. We obtain both upper and lower bound in the case of martingales. A lower bound is obtained for the law of the iterated logarithm for tail sums of bounded symmetric independent random variables. Lacunary trigonometric series exhibit many of the properties of partial sums of independent random variables. So we finally obtain a lower bound for the tail law of the iterated logarithm for lacunary trigonometric series introduced by Salem and Zygmund.

Então todo subespaço complementado de dimensão infinita de X é isomorfo a X. Outro resultado clássico de Pelczynski [1] afirma que se p é um número real maior do que um, então o espaço Lp[0,1] contém um subespaço complementado isomorfo a l2. Nosso objetivo é estudar os resultados deste tipo, e introduzir alguns problemas abertos. BIBLIOGRAFIA [1] A.

Then each infinite dimensional subspace complemented in X is isomorphic to X. Another classical result of Pelczynski [1] states that if p is a real number greater that one, then the space Lp[0,1] contains a complemented subspace isomorphic to l2. Our aim is to study results of this kind, and to introduce some open problems. BIBLIOGRAFIA [1] A.
