SIZES OF COMPACT SUBSETS OF HILBERT SPACE 315<br />

Then by 5.2 we have for n large enough<br />

b, < n-llLw)<br />

so for 6 < 2 - X we have for k large<br />

so letting S JO we have by Proposition 5.7<br />

r < l/C- Q + l/N < a<br />

so by 5.8 t < - & <strong>and</strong> r > - 2/(1 + 2t), so<br />

Thus Conjectures 5.4 <strong>and</strong> 5.9 hold for blocks.<br />

PROPOSITION 6.6. The following are equivalent:<br />

(4 c bn I L(%J I converges with probability I;<br />

(b) C b, < ~0;<br />

(cl B = WJ) is included in some GC-ellipsoid;<br />

(d) B is a GC-set;<br />

(e) B is a GB-set.<br />

Q.E.D.<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. (a) implies (b) by an application <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> three-series <strong>the</strong>orem<br />

([131, P. 237).<br />

If C b, < co, we let<br />

an = (6” glbj)li2.<br />

Then E({a,}) is a GC-ellipsoid by 6.3, <strong>and</strong> B C E, so (b) implies (c).<br />

Clearly (c) implies (d) which implies (e).<br />

If B is a GB-set, <strong>the</strong>n for almost every w, <strong>the</strong>re is an M < co<br />

such that<br />

2 w4w) b> G M<br />

j-1<br />

for all possible choices <strong>of</strong> So = f 1. Hence (a) holds, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> pro<strong>of</strong><br />

is complete.
