Abstract

We work in set-theory without choice \ZF\ZF. Given a closed subset FF of [0,1]I[0,1]^I which is a bounded subset of 1(I)\ell^1(I) ({\em resp.} such that F0(I)F \subseteq \ell^0(I)), we show that the countable axiom of choice for finite subsets of II, ({\em resp.} the countable axiom of choice \ACD\ACD) implies that FF is compact. This enhances previous results where \ACD\ACD ({\em resp.} the axiom of Dependent Choices \DC\DC) was required. Moreover, if II is linearly orderable (for example I=\IRI=\IR), the closed unit ball of 2(I)\ell^2(I) is weakly compact (in \ZF\ZF).
