Convergent subseries of divergent series

Published 20 Nov 2020 in math.CA, math.FA, and math.GN | (2011.10638v1)

Abstract: Let $\mathscr{X}$ be the set of positive real sequences $x=(x_n)$ such that the series $\sum_n x_n$ is divergent. For each $x \in \mathscr{X}$, let $\mathcal{I}x$ be the collection of all $A\subseteq \mathbf{N}$ such that the subseries $\sum{n \in A}x_n$ is convergent. Moreover, let $\mathscr{A}$ be the set of sequences $x \in \mathscr{X}$ such that $\lim_n x_n=0$ and $\mathcal{I}x\neq \mathcal{I}_y$ for all sequences $y=(y_n) \in \mathscr{X}$ with $\liminf_n y{n+1}/y_n>0$. We show that $\mathscr{A}$ is comeager and that contains uncountably many sequences $x$ which generate pairwise nonisomorphic ideals $\mathcal{I}_x$. This answers, in particular, an open question recently posed by M. Filipczak and G. Horbaczewska.
