On the complexity of Hamel bases of infinite dimensional Banach spaces

Logic 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We call a subset S of a topological vector space V linearly Borel, if for every finite number n, the set of all linear combinations of S of length n is a Borel subset of V. It will be shown that a Hamel base of an infinite dimensional Banach space can never be linearly Borel. This answers a question of Anatolij Plichko.
