Jan 6, 2011 at 22:05 comment added Stefan Geschke You are absolutely right. I missed the point that since you are looking at closed subspaces you practically get closure under countably infinite sums.
Jan 6, 2011 at 8:15 comment added David Feldman > Is the collection of finite and cofinite subsets of ω a combinatorial Hilbert space? If you have all the finite subsets, you have all the singleton subsets, so you have a basis, and you get all of $\ell^2(\omega)$, including many subsets neither finite nor cofinite. You could ask about all the cofinite subset of $\omega$. Off the top of my head (sketch) generate a subspace by $v_1, v_2, \ldots$ with each $v_i$ having full support but decreasing much more rapidly then all the previous.
Jan 6, 2011 at 7:57 comment added Stefan Geschke Is the collection of finite and cofinite subsets of $\omega$ a combinatorial Hilbert space? In the analogous question for $\ell^\infty(\omega)$ you can obviously get all subalgebras of $\mathcal P(\omega)$, but here this is not clear at all.
Jan 6, 2011 at 4:08 comment added David Feldman @Ricky No, see arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0806/0806.1957v1.pdf for example. An infinite Dedekind finite set of reals would contain no countable sequence at all.
Jan 6, 2011 at 2:35 comment added user5810 Now, is that provable in ZF?
Jan 6, 2011 at 2:05 comment added Chris Eagle @Mariano: yes, but if a subset of $\omega$ is the union of a collection of subsets of $\omega$, then it is in fact the union of countably many of them, since $\omega$ itself is countable.
Jan 6, 2011 at 1:52 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez There are uncountable families of subsets of $\omega$, so your «and thus here arbitrary» needs some justification, no?
