Hi
The Separable Hahn-Banach Theorem: if f is a bounded linear
functional
on subspace Z of normed space H then f has an extension
f^ to the whole space with the same norm.

is there a proof ..? ( without using Zorn's Lemma).


Probably not without Zorn's Lemma (or other form of AC). Perhaps
someone will weigh in on whether it's EQUIVALENT to AC?

I do remember a development by Alberto Calderon in which he proved
separation for two-dimensional spaces, then (with Zorn's Lemma) showed
how that implied the general form.

I don't know why you call it the Separable HB Theorem. You didn't
mention separability. If you HAVE separability then of course you can
do it without Zorn's Lemma, because a strictly ascending chain of
subspaces has to be countable. (But probably have to use countable AC.
I think you have to use THAT to breathe!)
