Let \(\{X_ n\), \(n\in {\mathbb{N}}^ d\}\) be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables with values in a Banach space B and let \(S_ n=\sum_{k\leq n}X_ k\) for each n in \({\mathbb{N}}^ d\), the positive d-dimensional lattice points, \(k\leq n\) being defined coordinatewise. Write \(| n| =\prod^{n}_{i=1}n_ i\) if \(n=(n_ 1,...,n_ d)\). The author proves that for \(1\leq p<2\), if \(E\{\| X_ 1\|^ p(Log^+\| X_ 1\|)^{d-1}\}<\infty\), \(S_ n/| n|^ p\to 0\) almost surely iff \(S_ n/| n|^ p\to 0\) in probability. In particular, if B is of type p, \(S_ n/| n|^ p\to 0\) almost surely iff \(E\{X_ 1\}=0\) and \(E\{\| X_ 1\|^ p(Log^+\| X_ 1\|)^{d-1}\}<\infty\). These theorems and their proofs extend and combine the d-dimensional indices results on the line and the Banach space result when \(d=1\).
