Equicontinuous and relatively weakly compact subsets of the space of Bochner integrable functions \(L_ 1(\mu,X)\) (Q808385)

In a recent paper, M. Gruenwald and R. Wheeler considered two strict topologies \(\beta_ 1\) and \(\beta_ 2\) on \(C(S,X^*_{\tau})\), the space of continuous functions from S - the Stone space of a complete, finite, and positive measure space (\(\Omega\),\(\Sigma\),\(\mu\)) - into a Banach dual \(X^*\) endowed with the Mackey topology \(\tau (X^*,X)\). Here it is shown that the subsets of \(L_ 1(\mu,X)\) which are equicontinuous with respect to the topologies \(\beta_ 1\) and \(\beta_ 2\) coincide with \(\delta {\mathcal S}\)-sets of \(L_ 1(\mu,X)\), the space of Bochner integrable X-valued functions on \(\Omega\). As a consequence, the two topologies \(\beta_ 1\) and \(\beta_ 2\) are identical. Further results for the strict topology will be derived.
