Some remarks on the Oleszkiewicz problem

Abstract

In this paper we study the question how to easily verify that the expectation of the supremum of a one canonical Bernoulli process dominates the same quantity for another process of this type. In the setting of Gaussian canonical processes it is known that such a comparison holds for contractions in the Euclidean distance. We do state and prove a similar result for Bernoulli processes. In particular we get a partial answer to the Oleszkiewicz conjecture about the comparability of weak and strong moments for type Bernoulli series in a Banach space.
