In this paper, we obtain new results for the weak‐AFPP in abstract spaces by exploiting biorthogonal systems techniques. Firstly, we investigate the strong‐AFPP on countably infinite dimensional Hausdorff locally convex spaces. Spaces of this class are shown to be sequentially complete iff they have the hereditary FPP for totally bounded, closed convex sets. This might open a research line for the analysis of weak‐AFPP in such frames. In connection, we provide a simple criterion for the containement of ℓ 1 ‐sequences in terms of strongly‐equicontinuous biorthogonal systems. We then establish a few results concerning the existence of Hausdorff finer vector topologies on abstract spaces having as prescribed condition the existence of such systems. The proofs are based on methods of Peck and Porta concerning building of finer vector topologies, and a classical construction of Singer which allows us to prove under rather natural conditions the existence of equicontinuous biorthogonal systems in metrizable locally convex spaces. These results are compatible with the failure of the weak‐AFPP. We also study the inverse problem by proving that every infinite dimensional vector space admits a (non‐locally convex) Hausdorff vector topology which is complete, non‐metrizable and is compatible with a bounded Hamel Schauder basis. It is shown further that such a topology has the σ ( X , F ) ‐AFPP, where F is the linear span of coefficient functionals associated to a Hamel basis. Finally, inspired by a result of Shapiro, we observe that if X is a non‐locally convex F ‐space with an absolute basis, then the weak‐AFPP is equivalent to the fact that every bounded convex subset of X is compact.
