Linear structure of sets of divergent sequences and series (Q855548)

In this short note, the authors show the existance of infinite dimensional spaces of series, every nonzero element of which enjoys certain pathological properties. In the first theorem they show that the set of all convergent series contains a vector space \(E\) with \(\dim(E) = c\) such that every nonzero element of \(E\) is conditionally convergent and \(\text{span} \{ E \cup c_{00} \}\) is an algebra and its elements are either elements of \(c_{00}\) or conditionally convergent series. Similar results can be proved for divergent series also. Furthermore the authors show that the space of all weakly unconditionally convergent Cauchy series in an infinite dimensional Banach space \(X\) has an infinite dimensional vector space of nonweakly convergent series and that the set of unconditionally convergent series on \(X\) contains a vector space \(E\) of infinite dimension so that if \(x \in E\setminus \{0\}\) then \( \sum_{i} \| x_{i}\| = \infty \).
