| Abstract: It is well known that if E is a locally convex complete metric space then every weak basis for E is a basis [cf., e.g., C. W. McArthur, Colloq. Math. 17 (1967), 71--76]. I show here that if E is a complete linear metric space that is not locally convex and has a weak basis and if either there exists a bounded neighbourhood of zero in E or there exists a one-to-one continuous linear operator from E into a Banach space, then there exists a weak basis for E that is not a basis. In particular, this phenomenon holds in the Hardy space H^p for 0 < p < 1. |
