Spaces of \(S\)-bounded multiplier convergent series (Q5932678)

\(X\) being a Banach space and \(\mathcal S\) a subspace of \(\ell_\infty\) containing \(c_0\), the authors define the space \(X(\mathcal S)\) as the set of all sequences \(\overline x=(x_i)_{i\geq 1}\) such that the series \(\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty} a_ix_i\) converges for every \({\mathbf a} =(a_i)_{i\geq 1}\in\mathcal S\). They call it the space of \(\mathcal S\)-bounded multiplier convergent series. When \(\mathcal S=\ell_\infty\), it is the space of the unconditionally convergent series, and when \(\mathcal S=c_0\), it is the space of the weakly unconditionally Cauchy series. Defining the norm of \(X(\mathcal S)\) by \[ \|\overline x\|_{\mathcal S}=\sup_{\substack{{\mathbf a}\in {\mathcal S}\\ \|{\mathbf a}\|_\infty\leq 1 }} \Biggl\|\sum_{i=1}^\infty a_ix_i\Biggr\|, \] the authors prove that \(X({\mathcal S})\) is a Banach space. Their main results are characterizations of the convergence of sequences in \(X(\mathcal S)\), and necessary conditions which are not sufficient - except for \(\mathcal S=\ell_\infty\) see \textit{Q. Bu} and \textit{C. Wu} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 207, No. 2, 291-299 (1997; Zbl 0891.46011)] for relative compactness. For some of their results, they need to assume that \(\mathcal S\) is an \(\ell_\infty\)-Grothendieck space: a Banach space \(Y\) is said to be an \(\mathcal M\)-Grothendieck space, where \(X\subseteq\mathcal M\subseteq X^{\ast\ast}\), if every weak* convergent sequence in \(Y^\ast\) is \(\sigma(Y^\ast,\mathcal M)\)-convergent.
