The influence of a log-type small ball factor in the study of the lower classes

Let {BH₁,H₂(t₁,t₂),t₁?0,t₂?0} be a fractional Brownian sheet with indexes 0<H₁,H₂<1. When H₁=H₂:=H, there is a logarithmic factor in the small ball function of the sup-norm statistic of BH,H. First, we state general conditions (one based on a logarithmic factor in the small ball function) on some statistics of BH,H. Then we characterize the sufficiency part of the lower classes of these statistics by an integral test. Finally, when we consider the sup-norm statistic, the influence of the log-type small ball factor in the necessity part is measured by a second integral test.
