Sharp inequalities are derived for differentially subordinate martingales taking values in a real or complex Hilbert space, H. Two general inequalities are derived, one for $$\| f\|_ p=\sup_{n} \| f_ n\|_ p,$$ where $$f=(f_ n)_{n\geq 0}$$, is a martingale and the other for $$\sup_{n} E \Phi (| f_ n|),$$ where $$\Phi$$ is in a class of convex functions. These results are then applied to obtain sharp inequalities between stochastic integrals in which either the martingale integrators or the predictable integrands are H-valued. Furthermore, they lead to square function inequalities for H-valued martingales and provide a proof of a conjecture by G. Klincsek [Ann. Probab. 5, 823-825 (1978; Zbl 0375.60064)] for real martingales.
