Weak and strong convergence of amarts in Fréchet spaces

AbstractSeveral new characterizations of nuclearity in Fréchet spaces are proved. The most important one states tat a Fréchet space is nuclear if and only if every mean bounded amart is strongly a.s. convergent. This extends the result in [A. Bellow, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 73, No. 6 (1976), 1798–1799] in a more positive way, and gives a different proof of it. The results of Brunel and Sucheston [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. A (1976), 1011–1014], are extended to yield the same characterization of reflexivity of a Fréchet space in terms of weak convergence a.s. of weak amarts
