Proof of Hilbert space being finite-dimensional

**superpickleboy** · May 10th 2010, 05:19 PM

The question is if the sequence (vn) n belong to the natural numbers N whose linear span is the Hilbert space H, then H is finite dimensional.

These sorts of proofs always confuse me. Thanks for any help given

Just use the Baire category theorem, with the sets $A_k = span \{ v_1,...,v_k\}$

Never heard of that theorem before. Is there any other approach to it without the use of that theorem ?
