C. Fefferman [a3] discovered the remarkable fact that the space is none other than the "dual" of the Hardy space in the sense of function analysis (cf. also Functional analysis; Hardy spaces; Duality; -space). In establishing the above duality, Fefferman discovered the following "formal" inequality: if and , then

The word "formal" is used here since does not necessarily have a finite Lebesgue integral. However, one can define by setting , since it has been proved that in this case exists. Here, and , , a.s., are regular martingales. Later, A.M. Garsia [a4] proved an analogous inequality for with .

S. Ishak and J. Mogyorodi [a5] extended the validity of the Fefferman–Garsia inequality to all . In 1983, [a6], [a7], [a8], they also proved the following generalization: If and , where is a pair of conjugate Young functions (cf. also Dual functions) such that has a finite power, then

where is a constant depending only on and stands for , which exists.

It was proved in [a1], [a2] that the generalized Fefferman–Garsia inequality holds if and only if the right-hand side of the corresponding Burkholder–Davis–Gundy inequality holds.
