From weak to strong types of L_E¹-convergence by the Bocce-criterion

Necessary and sufficient oscillation conditions are given for a weakly convergent sequence (resp. relatively weakly compact set) in the Bochner-Lebesgue space $\l1$ to be norm convergent (resp. relatively norm compact), thus extending the known results for $\rl1$. Similarly, necessary and sufficient oscillation conditions are given to pass from weak to limited (and also to Pettis-norm) convergence in $\l1$. It is shown that tightness is a necessary and sufficient condition to pass from limited to strong convergence. Other implications between several modes of convergence in $\l1$ are also studied.
