On weak sequential completeness of spaces where weakly compact sets are super weakly compact

Functional Analysis 2025-01-29 v1

Abstract

We show that every Banach space in which weakly compact sets are super weakly compact in automatically weakly sequentially complete answering a question by Silber (2024). In the proof we show how to build a weakly compact set which is not super weakly compact from an arbitrary nontrivial weakly Cauchy sequence using the notion of a summing subsequence of Rosenthal or Singer.
