On continuous images of Eberlein compacts
It is shown that no infinite-dimensional Banach space can have a weakly K-analytic Hamel basis. As consequences, (i) no infinite-dimensional weakly analytic separable Banach space E has a Hamel basis C-embedded in E(weak), and (ii) no infinite-dimensional Banach space has a weakly pseudocompact Hamel basis. Among other results, it is also shown that there exist noncomplete normed barrelled spaces with closed discrete Hamel bases of arbitrarily large cardinality.
We say that a function f from [0,1] to a Banach space X is increasing with respect to E ⊂ X* if x* ∘ f is increasing for every x* ∈ E. We show that if f: [0,1] → X is an increasing function with respect to a norming subset E of X* with uncountably many points of discontinuity and Q is a countable dense subset of [0,1], then (1) contains an order isomorphic copy of D(0,1), (2) contains an isomorphic copy of C([0,1]), (3) contains an isomorphic copy of c₀(Γ) for some uncountable set Γ, (4) if...
