When do McShane and Pettis integrals coincide? (Q1419643)

It is well known that the Pettis and McShane integrals coincide for functions \(f:[0,1]\to X\) if the Banach space \(X\) is separable. There are Pettis integrable functions which are not McShane integrable. Their values, of course, belong to a nonseparable Banach space \(X\). The authors show the coincidence of the two integration concepts in question in the case when the range of \(f\) is not (essentially) separable, namely when \(X\) is super-reflexive or \(X=c_0(\Gamma)\). The result is rather technical, based on the geometry of the Banach space \(X\) and on deep knowledge of its properties. The positive answer to the problem from the title of the paper is shifted to another new position. The problem in general reads now as follows: Characterize Banach spaces \(X\) for which the Pettis and McShane integrals of \(f:[0,1]\to X\) coincide. A new example is given which shows that there is a scalarly negligible (and therefore Pettis integrable) function which is not integrable in the sense of McShane, the Continuum Hypothesis is involved there. The paper essentially contributes to the problem of comparing integrals based on Riemann-type integral sum approximations and the classical Pettis integral.
