Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

407 \(\Rightarrow\) 72 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
407 \(\Rightarrow\) 14	Effective equivalents of the Rasiowa-Sikorski lemma, Bacsich, P. D. 1972b, J. London Math. Soc. Ser. 2.
14 \(\Rightarrow\) 72	Prime ideal theorems for Boolean algebras and the axiom of choice, Tarski, A. 1954b, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.

Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
407:	Let \(B\) be a Boolean algebra, \(b\) a non-zero element of \(B\) and \(\{A_i: i\in\omega\}\) a sequence of subsets of \(B\) such that for each \(i\in\omega\), \(A_i\) has a supremum \(a_i\). Then there exists an ultrafilter \(D\) in \(B\) such that \(b\in D\) and, for each \(i\in\omega\), if \(a_i\in D\), then \(D\cap\ A_i\neq\emptyset\).
14:	BPI: Every Boolean algebra has a prime ideal.
72:	Artin-Schreier Theorem: Every field in which \(-1\) is not the sum of squares can be ordered. (The ordering, \(\le \), must satisfy (a) \(a\le b\rightarrow a + c\le b + c\) for all \(c\) and (b) \(c\ge 0\) and \(a\le b\rightarrow a\cdot c\le b\cdot c\).)
