In the study of polynomials acting on Banach spaces, the weak topology is not such a good tool as in the case of linear operators, due to the bad behaviour of the polynomials with respect to the weak convergence. For example,
is a continuous polynomial taking a weakly null sequence into a sequence having no weakly Cauchy subsequences. In this paper we show that the situation is not so bad for unconditional series. Recall that is a weakly unconditionally Cauchy series (in short a w.u.C. series) in a Banach space E if for every f ε E* we have that and is an unconditionally converging series (in short an u.c. series) if every subseries is norm convergent.
