A system of functions \((f_ n(x))^{\infty}_{n=1}\) (x\(\in (0,1))\) is called a convergence system if \(\sum c_ nf_ n(x)\) convergence almost everywhere in (0,1) whenever\(\sum c^ 2_ n<\infty\). A classical result of Marcinkiewicz and Menshov asserts that every orthonormal sequence \((f_ n(x))^{\infty}_{n=1}\) contains a convergence subsystem \((f_{n_ k})^{\infty}_{n=1}\). G. Bennett [Notes In Banach spaces, Semin. and Courses, Austin/Tex. 1975-79, 39-80 (1980; Zbl 0457.46009)] conjectured that there is a sequence \((r_ n)^{\infty}_{n=1}\) of positive reals such that for every \((f_ n(x))^{\infty}_{n=1}\) in the Marcinkiewicz-Menshov theorem \(n_ k\) may be chosen satisfying the condition \(\lim_{k\to \infty}n_ k/r_ k=0.\) This conjecture was proved by B. S. Kashin [Usp. Mat. Nauk 40, No.2(242), 181-182 (1985; Zbl 0591.42017)]. In the same paper B. S. Kashin asked, is it true that we may pose \(r_ k=k^{1+a}\) for any \(a>0?\) The author proved that for every \(c>1\) we may choose \(r_ k=c^ k\). He also obtained analogous result for \(S_ p\)-systems.
