Continuity of coordinate functionals of filter bases in Banach spaces

Abstract: We prove that the coordinate functionals associated with filter bases in Banach spaces are continuous as long as the underlying filter is analytic. This removes the large-cardinal hypothesis from the result established by the two last-named authors ([Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 53 (2021)]) at the expense of reducing the generality from projective to analytic. In particular, we obtain a ZFC solution to Kadets' problem of continuity of coordinate functionals associated with bases with respect to the filter of statistical convergence. Even though the automatic continuity of coordinate functionals beyond the projective class remains a mystery, we prove that a basis with respect to an arbitrary filter that has continuous coordinate functionals is also a basis with respect to a filter that is analytic.
