We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:
| Implication | Reference |
|---|---|
| 50 \(\Rightarrow\) 14 |
A survey of recent results in set theory, Mathias, A.R.D. 1979, Period. Math. Hungar. |
| 14 \(\Rightarrow\) 385 | clear |
| 385 \(\Rightarrow\) 406 |
The axiom of choice and two particular forms of Tychonoff theorem, Alas, O. T. 1969, Portugal. Math. |
Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
|---|---|
| 50: | Sikorski's Extension Theorem: Every homomorphism of a subalgebra \(B\) of a Boolean algebra \(A\) into a complete Boolean algebra \(B'\) can be extended to a homomorphism of \(A\) into \(B'\). Sikorski [1964], p. 141. |
| 14: | BPI: Every Boolean algebra has a prime ideal. |
| 385: | Countable Ultrafilter Theorem: Every proper filter with a countable base over a set \(S\) (in \({\cal P}(S)\)) can be extended to an ultrafilter. |
| 406: | The product of compact Hausdorf spaces is countably compact. Alas [1994]. |
