On the complete convergence of sequences of random elements in Banach spaces (Q2338581)

A Banach space \(X\) is said to have Rademacher type \(p > 0\) if there exist a constant \(T < \infty\) such that for every \({x_1},\dots,{x_n} \in X\), \(E{\Vert {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{\varepsilon_i}{x_i}}} \Vert ^p} \le {T^p}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\Vert {{x_i}} \Vert}^p}} \) where \(E\) denotes the expectation with respect to uniformly chosen \(\varepsilon = ({\varepsilon_1},\dots,{\varepsilon_n}) \in {[ - 1,1]^n}\). The paper considers a sequence \(\{ {X_n},n \ge 1\} \) of independent random variables with values in \(X\) with the partial \(k\)-th sum \({S_k}\) and gives criteria for the convergence of \(\sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{1}{n}P({{\max}_{1 \le k \le n}}\Vert {{S_k}} \Vert > \varepsilon {n^\alpha}})\) and \(\sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{\log n}}{n}P({{\max}_{1 \le k \le n}}\Vert {{S_k}} \Vert > \varepsilon {n^\alpha}})\) for every \(\varepsilon > 0\).
