Paley's Theory for Lacunary Fourier Series on Discrete Groups: a Semigroup-Interpretation

The main result is a Paley’s theory for lacunary Fourier series using semigroup-BMO and $H^1$ spaces. This interpretation allows an extension of Paley’s theory to general discrete groups, complementing the work of Rudin for abelian groups with a total order, and Lust-Piquard and Pisier’s work for lacunary Fourier series with operator-valued coefficients.
