If the condition

holds with , then the Fourier series

converges almost-everywhere. This was established by A.N. Kolmogorov and G.A. Seliverstov (see [1], [2]). In [1] it was actually proved that can be taken to be for any , and this statement was strengthened in [2], where its validity was proved for as well. This strong form was also obtained by A.I. Plessner [3]. Prior to the Kolmogorov–Seliverstov theorem, the theorem (G.H. Hardy, 1916) was known with . The Kolmogorov–Seliverstov theorem remained the strongest result in this direction until 1966, when the Carleson theorem was proved, according to which one can take . S. Kaczmarz [4] transferred the Kolmogorov–Seliverstov theorem from the trigonometric system to arbitrary orthonormal systems by proving that for the almost-everywhere convergence of series in such systems on some set, one can take for a monotone majorant of the Lebesgue function on this set.
