The structure of the set of sums of a conditionally convergent series in a normed space. (Russian) Zbl 0592.46013
Consider a series $$\sum_{k\geq 1}a_ k$$ in an arbitrary Banach space X and let S be the set of sums of all its convergent permutations. The author proves that if the series $$\sum_{k\geq 1}a_ kr_ k(t)$$ converges a.e. $$(r_ k's$$ are the Rademacher functions) then S is a translate of a closed linear subspace of X and, moreover, $$x\in S$$ if and only if for every $$f\in X^*$$ there is a permutation $$\sigma$$ of the natural numbers (that may depend on f) with $$f(x)=\sum_{k\geq 1}f(x_{\sigma (k)}).$$
Apparently, this generalization of the classical Lévy-Steinitz theorem is at least very close to final.
The proof is based on the following lemma which is interesting in itself: if $$a_ 1,...,a_ n\in X$$ and $$\sum a_ i=0$$ then there is a permutation $$\sigma$$ of $$\{$$ 1,...,n$$\}$$ with $\max_{1\leq k\leq n}\| \sum_{1\leq i\leq k}a_{\sigma (i)}\| \leq 8\int^{1}_{0}\| \sum_{1\quad \leq i\leq n}a_ ir_ i(t)\| dt.$
