Freedman / Bernstein inequality for martingales (adapted sums of sub-gamma increments) #
The variance-based (Freedman) martingale tail: a finite adapted sum of conditionally sub-gamma
increments satisfies P(∑ Yᵢ ≥ ε) ≤ exp(−ε²/(2(∑Vᵢ + cε))). Mathlib has Azuma (sub-Gaussian
martingales) but not the sub-gamma / Freedman version. Built on the sub-gamma MGF and Bernstein tail
of Contrib.BennettBernstein, with kernel-level tower additivity of the variance factors.
Contrib.Freedman.subgamma_bernstein_tail— the Freedman/Bernstein upper tail.Contrib.Freedman.Kernel.HasSubgammaMGF(+add_compProd,add_of_indep) — kernel-valued sub-gamma MGF with tower additivity.Contrib.Freedman.MeasureSubgammaMGF,Contrib.Freedman.HasCondSubgammaMGF— the measure- and conditional-level analogues, and the summation lemma over an adapted sequence.
Sorry-free and axiom-clean [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound].
Kernel-valued sub-gamma MGF bound. Integrability is required for every real parameter (rather than only the effective domain of the estimate), as in Mathlib's kernel-valued sub-Gaussian definition; this is what makes the tower argument composable.

Tower-property additivity of variance factors for two consecutive kernel increments.
