Abstract
It is shown that no infinite-dimensional Banach space can have a weakly $K$-analytic Hamel basis. As consequences, (i) no infinite-dimensional weakly analytic separable Banach space $E$ has a Hamel basis $C$-embedded in $E( \mathrm {weak}) $, and (ii) no infinite-dimensional Banach space has a weakly pseudocompact Hamel basis. Among other results, it is also shown that there exist noncomplete normed barrelled spaces with closed discrete Hamel bases of arbitrarily large cardinality.
