= Cotype 2
{title2=$C_2(X)$}

This is <cotype of a Banach space> with $q=2$. The <Lp space> $L^1$ has cotype 2 with constant at most $\sqrt2$: the triangle inequality for the Euclidean norm gives $(\sum\|f_j\|_1^2)^{1/2}\le\int(\sum|f_j(t)|^2)^{1/2}\,dt$, and the <sharp Rademacher second-moment inequality>, followed by <Fubini theorem>, bounds this by $\sqrt2\,\mathbb E\|\sum\varepsilon_jf_j\|_1$.
