Abstract

A moment inequality is proved for sums of independent random variables in the Lorentz spaces LPtq, thus extending an inequality of Rosenthal. The latter result is used in combination with a square function inequality to give a proof of a Banach space isomorphism theorem. Further moment inequalities are also proved.
