Hamel bases of Banach spaces

TheoremA Banach space with a countable Hamel basis is finite-dimensional#✓fully proved

If E is a complete normed space over 𝕜 = ℝ, ℂ admitting a Hamel basis indexed by a countable type, then E is finite-dimensional. Completeness is essential: it is what the Baire category argument uses.

TheoremAn infinite-dimensional Banach space has no countable Hamel basis#✓fully proved

Let \(E\) be a complete normed space over \(\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{R}\) or \(\mathbb{C}\). If \(E\) is not finite-dimensional, then no Hamel basis of \(E\) is indexed by a countable set.
