Let \(B\) be a Banach space. There are two natural ways to introduce ``properties fullfilled almost everywhere'' in the weak topology of a Banach space. Starting from that point, the authors give two definitions of a \(B\)-valued function \(F:[0,1]\to B\) to be weakly almost everywhere equal zero, as: (1) for any \(x^*\in B^*\) the function \(x^*\circ f\) equals zero almost eveywhere; (2) if there exists a set \(A\) of full measure, such that for any \(x^*\in B^*\) function \(x^*\circ f\) equals \(0\) at any point \(t\in A\). In the first part of the paper the interchangeability of these two definitions is studied. A wide class of Banach spaces where they are equivalent is considered, however, the counterexamples are constructed showing that it is not true in some spaces. Also, the conditions, under which the two definitions are equivalent for Borel measurable functions are studied. Finally, a characterizaion of finite-dimensional spaces and separable Banach spaces with separable duals via weak almost everywhere convergence is obtained.
