A Real Hilbert Space Containing an Orthonormal Sequence Is Not Finite-Dimensional

If a real Hilbert space contains an orthonormal sequence indexed by the natural numbers, then it has no finite basis.

Statement

In the setting of Real Hilbert Spaces: Standing Notation and Background, let HH be a real Hilbert space, with its inner product ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle, its norm ∣⋅∣|\cdot| and its zero vector 0H0_{H} as fixed there, and let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers. Suppose that there is an orthonormal sequence (fj)j∈N(f_{j})_{j\in\mathbb{N}} in HH.

Then HH, which is a vector space over R\mathbb{R} by Real Inner Product Spaces, is not finite-dimensional.
