SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on identifying a bounded sequence in the l² Hilbert space that weakly converges to zero while lacking convergent subsequences in the strong topology. The example provided is the unit cube in l², represented by the sequence {ei = δij}, where ei has a 1 in the i-th position and 0 elsewhere. This sequence does not possess a finite ε-net for ε < 1/2 due to the l² distance being √2, which prevents it from having convergent subsequences. Additionally, the sequence {en} converges weakly to zero in any Hilbert space, as demonstrated through the properties of Cauchy sequences and maximal orthonormal sets.
