Abstract

This paper is devoted to tangent martingales in Banach spaces. We provide the definition of tangency through local characteristics, basic Lp- and ø-estimates, a precise construction of a decoupled tangent martin-gale, new estimates for vector-valued stochastic integrals, and several other claims concerning tangent martingales and local characteristics in infinite dimensions. This work extends various real-valued and vector-valued re-sults in this direction e.g. due to Grigelionis, Hitczenko, Jacod, Kallenberg, Kwapien, McConnell, and Woyczynski. The vast majority of the assertions presented in the paper is done under the necessary and sufficient UMD assumption on the corresponding Banach space.
