Abstract

A theorem is effective iff it is proved in ZF°, where ZF° is ZermeloFraenkel set theory without the axioms of choice and foundation (regularity). A well known effective theorem of F. Riesz states that a Hubert space is finite dimensional iff its closed unit ball is compact. This may fail for sequential compactness. If U is a set of urelements, equipped with the structure of 12, / is the ideal of all finite subsets of U and G is the group of unitary operators, by an argument similar to [7]. In the resulting permutation model P(U,G,I), each orthonormal (= ON) system in U is finite. Therefore U is locally sequentially compact, but there is no ON base for U. A similar situation holds for the Dworetzky-Rogers characterisation of finite dimensional spaces ([9], Theorem I.e.2). But in combination we get the effective result:
