A locally convex space (lcs) E is said to have an ωω-base if E has a neighborhood base { Uα: α∈ ωω} at zero such that Uβ⊆ Uα for all α≤ β. The class of lcs with an ωω-base is large, among others contains all (LM)-spaces (hence (LF)-spaces), strong duals of distinguished Fréchet lcs (hence spaces of distributions D′(Ω)). A remarkable result of Cascales-Orihuela states that every compact set in an lcs with an ωω-base is metrizable. Our main result shows that every uncountable-dimensional lcs with an ωω-base contains an infinite-dimensional metrizable compact subset. On the other hand, the countable-dimensional vector space φ endowed with the finest locally convex topology has an ωω-base but contains no infinite-dimensional compact subsets. It turns out that φ is a unique infinite-dimensional locally convex space which is a kR-space containing no infinite-dimensional compact subsets. Applications to spaces Cp(X) are provided.
