Let \(\Sigma:={\mathbb C}^{({\mathbb N})}\) be the direct sum of a countably infinite number of copies of \({\mathbb C}\) with the inductive topology. The author proves that, if \(X\) is a closed analytic subset of a \(\Sigma\)-Stein manifold and \(E\) is a holomorphic vector bundle on \(X\) with fibres isomorphic to a Banach space, then \(H^i(X,E)=0\) for \(i\geq2\). He introduces a concept of \(q\)-convexity (corresponding to \((q+1)\)-convexity in an earlier paper of \textit{A. Andreotti} and \textit{H. Grauert} [Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 90, 193--259 (1962; Zbl 0106.05501)] and proves that, if \(Y\) is a \(\Sigma\)-Stein space, \(U\) an open subset of \(Y\) with \(C^2\) \(q\)-convex boundary, \(X\) a closed analytic subset of \(U\) and \(E\) a holomorphic vector bundle on \(X\) of finite rank, then \(H^i(X,E)=0\) for \(i\geq q+2\). (In the paper \(Y\) is printed in place of \(X\) here.) If \(X\) is smooth, the same holds when \(E\) is a bundle whose fibres are Banach spaces. The proof depends on a result of \textit{Y. Fujimoto} [Sci. Sci. Pap. Coll. Arts Sci., Univ. Tokyo 35, 123--132 (1986; Zbl 0599.32014)].
