Regular aggregation sequences and their (in)finite series

Motivated by the (renormalization) of some classical divergent series in String Theory, e.g.

(see here), I start thinking on the convergence meaning of a class of divergent series, trying to make sense of them without following some of the (standard) approaches as Hardy resummation or Zeta function regularization (e.g. wikipedia). The main idea was to see if it is possible to define a class of sequences and a equivalence operation, by aggregating terms, such that their “value” is determined by some constant sequence in the same equivalent class.

In the comments of this post, you see the precise notions and a preliminary result, which is quite open for discussion…

First comment:
NOTATION. I use  to denote a tupple (e.g. a 2-tupple), of real numbers, since  means a set (i.e. no order and no element repetition) and  is an open interval. We will also consider tupples of functions. The size of a tupple  is denoted by . Any sequence  (an infinite-tupple) can be extended by zeros on the left, so it is infinite in the two directions. Therefore the index of a sequence is an element of , where the first element of a sequence  is denoted by . Moreover, since  for all , the relevant set of indices is . For , we denote by  the integers that are congruent to , i.e. the set .

Let , , and . Define the conditional function  as

(1) 

which, for convenience, we just write as 

DEFINITION. A regular aggregation sequence (r.a.s.) is a sequence  such that exist fixed tupples  and , with ,  and , such that

(2) 

We call the pair  a realization of u, which is not unique for each sequence u. The set of all r.a.s. is denoted by .

DEFINITION. The aggregation operation , with  and , is the map such that,

LEMMA. For  and , the map  has the following properties:

(1) It is well-defined, i.e. .

(2) We have

where , , and

is a bijection.

(3) Fix  and define  by

The function  is an homomorphism.

(4) Let ,  and , then

where .

(5) We have . Moreover, if  is a decomposition into prime numbers, then
