Nov 15, 2022 at 19:50 comment added Michael Greinecker @MartinSleziak Also A Banach space of (Hamel) dimension $\kappa$ exists if and only if $\kappa^{\aleph_0}=\kappa$, which answers the question in the title.
Nov 15, 2022 at 19:37 comment added Martin Sleziak There is this question on Mathematics: Can any uncountable dimensional real vector space be made into a Banach space?. (Without a satisfactory answer, at the moment.) And there are some related questions about Hilbert spaces, as already pointed out: Can you equip every vector space with a Hilbert space structure? and Can all real/complex vector spaces be equipped with a Hilbert space structure?

Nov 15, 2022 at 19:27 comment added Christian Remling @WillieWong: What I wrote was ambigious and you gave it a stronger than intended interpretation. I just wanted to point out that if there is a Banach space of a given algebraic dimension, then (trivially) any vector space of that dimension will do.
Nov 15, 2022 at 18:24 comment added Willie Wong This MSE comment further suggests that there are non-trivial restrictions on the Hamel dimensions of Banach spaces (though I don't understand it at all). I do think this is a suitable question for MO.
Nov 15, 2022 at 18:17 comment added Willie Wong This MSE answer gives a citation that every infinite dimensional separable Banach space has cardinality exactly $2^{\aleph_0}$. But is there any known result of limits on the cardinalities of non-separable Banach spaces? (Also @MartinBrandenburg.)
Nov 15, 2022 at 18:12 comment added Willie Wong @ChristianRemling: is it obvious? The Theorem is that if $X$ is Banach, then its Hamel dimension is not $\aleph_0$. I think the OP is asking whether for any cardinal number other than $\aleph_0$ there is a Banach space with that Hamel dimension.

Nov 15, 2022 at 17:54 comment added Christian Remling A vector space has no structure other than its dimension, so there can't be any obstructions.
Nov 15, 2022 at 17:37 comment added Gerald Edgar You are asking in the wrong forum. When you go to math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9959 , do some searching to find your answer: For example, a Hamel basis for a Banach space cannot be countably infinite.
