fa.functional analysis - Hilbert subspaces of indefinite inner product spaces

Let E be a real linear space, endowed with a non-degenerate symmetric
bilinear form (.,.).



Suppose that the [indefinite] inner product space (E,(.,.))
satisfies the following [sequential] properties:



(WSC) If the sequence { (xn,y) } is Cauchy for each y in E, then there
exists some x in E such that left(xnx,yright) rightarrow 0
whenever y in E.



(That is to say, (E,(.,.)) is weakly sequentially complete.)



and



(DPG) If left(xn,yright) rightarrow 0 for every y in E,
then left(xn,xnright) rightarrow 0.



(That would be sort of "Dunford-Pettis & Grothendieck'' property for indefinite inner product spaces.)



Suppose also that |E| is "big enough'' (at least |E| >|mathbbR|).



Conjecture. (E,(.,.)) contains an infinite-dimensional Hilbert
subspace.



(That is, there exists a linear isometry from (ell2,<.,.>)
into (E,(.,.)) .)
