Uniform Convexity and Uniform Smoothness
of Lp , 1 < p < 1
Let (⌦, ⌃, µ) be a measure space. The first goal of this section is to prove
the following
Theorem 5.2.1. Let 1 < p < 1 and denote the modulus of uniform convexity of Lp (µ) by p . Then for any 1 < p < 1 there is a cp > 0 so that.
(
cp "2 if 1 < p < 2
p (")
cp "p if 2 < p < 1.

⌘|p
2(|⇠|p + |⌘|p ).
|⇠ + ⌘|p + |⇠
⌘|p  2(|⇠|p + |⌘|p ).
If p 6= 2 equality in (a) and (b) only holds if either ⇠ or ⌘ is zero.
Proof. If p = 2 we have equality by the binomial formula.
If 2 < p < 1 and ↵, 2 R, we apply Hölder’s inequality to the function
{1, 2} ! {↵2 ,

, and, thus,

If 0 < p < 2 we can replace p by 4/p and obtain

Forming similar inequalities by exchanging the roles of ⌘ and ⇠ and adding
them we get

(5.7)
|⌘|p + |⇠|p
(|⌘|p + |⇠|p )p/2 if 2 > p.
Note that equality in (5.7) can only hold if ⌘ = 0 or ⇠ = 0.
Letting now ↵ = |⇠ + ⌘| and = |⇠ ⌘| we deduce from (5.4) and (5.7)
if p > 2
|⇠ + ⌘|p + |⇠

which finishes the proof of part (a), while part (b) follows from applying
(5.5) and (5.7).

If p 6= 2 equality only holds if f · g = 0 µ-almost everywhere.
Lemma 5.2.4. Let 1 < p < 2. Then there is a positive constant C = C(p)
so that

Proof. We can assume without loss of generality that s = 1 > |t| and need
therefore to show that for some C > 0 and all t 2 [ 1, 1] we have

Since is strictly positive on [ 1, 0] we only need to find C so that (5.8)
holds for all t 2 [0, 1]. Since ⇠ 7! ⇠ 1/p is strictly concave it follows for all

Via integrating, Lemma 5.2.4 yields
Corollary 5.2.5. If 1 < p  2 and f, g 2 Lp (µ) and if C = C(p) is as in

Proof of Theorem 5.2.1. For 2  p < 1 we will deduce our claim from
Corollary 5.2.3. For f, g 2 Lp (µ), with kf k = kgk = 1, we deduce from the
first inequality in Corollary 5.2.3
2p =

Now assume that 1 < p < 2. Let f, g 2 SLp (µ) with " = kf
