Bounds for partial derivatives: necessity of UMD and sharp constants
  We prove the necessity of the UMD condition, with a quantitative estimate of the UMD constant, for any inequality in a family of $L^p$ bounds between different partial derivatives $\partial^\beta u$ of $u\in C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R}^n,X)$. In particular, we show that the estimate $\|u_{xy}\|_p\leq K(\|u_{xx}\|_p+\|u_{yy}\|_p)$ characterizes the UMD property, and the best constant $K$ is equal to one half of the UMD constant. This precise value of $K$ seems to be new even for scalar-valued functions.
