Aug 17, 2013 at 16:54 comment added Joel David Hamkins Yes, I see. Perhaps one can hope to modify the proof of Erdos-Kaplansky to answer the general case of your question.
Aug 17, 2013 at 16:48 comment added user38700 Excuse me, I meant it for an infinite set $I$. So again, Erdos-Kaplansky theorem states that for any field $K$ and any infinite set $I$, the linear dimension of the vector space $K^I$ is equal to its cardinality: $dim_K(K^I)=|K^I|$
Aug 17, 2013 at 16:37 comment added Joel David Hamkins That can't be correct the way you say it, since for example $I$ could be finite.

Aug 17, 2013 at 12:26 comment added Joel David Hamkins Forgive me, but what is the dimension of $K^{\mathbb{N}}$ as a $K$-vector space? (Of course at least continuum, and exactly continuum when $K$ has size at most continuum; but what is it when $K$ is larger?)
