### A theorem on majorizing measures

Witold Bednorz

#### Abstract

Let (T,d) be a metric space and φ:ℝ+→ℝ an increasing, convex function with φ(0)=0. We prove that if m is a probability measure m on T which is majorizing with respect to d, φ, that is, , then

for each separable stochastic process X(t), tT, which satisfies for all s, tT, st. This is a strengthening of one of the main results from Talagrand [Ann. Probab. 18 (1990) 1–49], and its proof is significantly simpler.
