Common notation:
• {εn } - Rademacher sequence (independent random variables, taking values ±1 with probability
1
2 each).
• {gn } - (standard) normal sequence (independent random variables, normally distributed with
2
density √12π e−x /2 ).
• kuk - denotes the norm of the vector u (in some Banach space depending on the context).
1. Let {ξn } be a sequence of independent (complex valued) random variables on some measure
space Ω.

4. Let F : R+ → R+ be a convex non-decreasing function, and let {un }n=1 be a finite sequence in
a Banach space B.
(a) For any real numbers {αn }, such that |αn | ≤ 1 for all n show that
