General Orlicz--Pettis theorem

Let \(G\) be a topological group and \(E\) a non-empty set. Let \(F\subset G^E\). Then \(E,F\) is called a \(G\) valued duality pair. Let \(w(E,F)\) (\(w(F,E)\)) be the weakest topology on \(E\) (\(F\)) such that all the maps \(x\mapsto f(x)\) (\(f\mapsto f(x)\)) for \(f\in F\) (\(x\in E\)) are continuous. A sequence \(\{x_j\}\) in \(E\) is \(w(E,F)\) subseries convergent if for every \( \sigma \subset\mathbb{N}\) there exists \(x_{\sigma }\in E\) such that \(\sum_{j\in \sigma }f(x_j)=f(x_{\sigma })\) for every \(f\in F\). Let \(\mathcal{F}\) be a family of subsets of \(F\). A sequence \(\{x_j\}\) in \(E\) is subseries convergent in the topology of uniform convergence on \(\mathcal{F}\) if for every \(B\in \mathcal{F}\) and for every \(\sigma \subset\mathbb{N}\) there exists \(x_{\sigma }\in E\) such that \(\sum_{j\in \sigma}f(x_{j})=f(x_{\sigma })\) uniformly for \(f\in B\). A subset \(B\subset F\) is conditionally \(w(F,E)\) sequentially compact if every sequence \(\{f_j\}\) has a subsequence \(\{f_{n_j}\}\) such that \(\lim f_{n_j}(x)\) exists for every \(x\in E\). The authors prove a very abstract version of the Orlicz--Pettis theorem. They show that if \(\{x_j\}\) is \(w(E,F)\) subseries convergent, then \(\{x_j\}\) is subseries convergent in the topology of uniform convergence on conditionally \(w(F,E)\) sequentially compact (\(w(F,E)\) compact, \(w(F,E)\) countably compact) subsets of \(F\). Applications of the abstract Orlicz--Pettis theorem are given to the Nikodym convergence theorem, the Hahn--Schur theorem, and several other versions of the Orlicz--Pettis theorem.
