On Complete Convergence in Mean for Double Sums of Independent Random Elements in Banach Spaces

In this work, conditions are provided under which a normed double sum of independent random elements in a real separable Rademacher type $p$ Banach space converges completely to $0$ in mean of order $p$. These conditions for the complete convergence in mean of order $p$ are shown to provide an exact characterization of Rademacher type $p$ Banach spaces. In case the Banach space is not of Rademacher type $p$, it is proved that the complete convergence in mean of order $p$ of a normed double sum implies a strong law of large numbers.
