Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
|---|---|
| 359: | If \(\{A_{x}: x\in S\}\) and \(\{B_{x}: x\in S\}\) are families of pairwise disjoint sets and \( |A_{x}| \le |B_{x}|\) for all \(x\in S\), then \(|\bigcup_{x\in S}A_{x}| \le |\bigcup_{x\in S} B_{x}|\). |
| 20: | If \(\{A_{x}: x \in S \}\) and \(\{B_{x}: x \in S\}\) are families of pairwise disjoint sets and \( |A_{x}| = |B_{x}|\) for all \(x\in S\), then \(|\bigcup_{x\in S}A_{x}| = |\bigcup_{x\in S} B_{x}|\). Moore [1982] (1.4.12 and 1.7.8). |
| 21: | If \(S\) is well ordered, \(\{A_{x}: x\in S\}\) and \(\{B_{x}: x\in S\}\) are families of pairwise disjoint sets, and \(|A_{x}| = |B_{x}|\) for all \(x\in S\), then \(|\bigcup_{x\in S}A_{x}|= |\bigcup_{x\in S} B_{x}|\). G\. |
| 23: | \((\forall \alpha)(UT(\aleph_{\alpha},\aleph_{\alpha}, \aleph_{\alpha}))\): For every ordinal \(\alpha\), if \(A\) and every member of \(A\) has cardinality \(\aleph_{\alpha}\), then \(|\bigcup A| = \aleph _{\alpha }\). |
| 27: | \((\forall \alpha)( UT(\aleph_{0},\aleph_{\alpha}, \aleph_{\alpha}))\): The union of denumerably many sets each of power \(\aleph_{\alpha }\) has power \(\aleph_{\alpha}\). Moore, G. [1982], p 36. |
| 31: | \(UT(\aleph_{0},\aleph_{0},\aleph_{0})\): The countable union theorem: The union of a denumerable set of denumerable sets is denumerable. |
| 32: | \(C(\aleph_0,\le\aleph_0)\): Every denumerable set of non-empty countable sets has a choice function. |
| 10: | \(C(\aleph_{0},< \aleph_{0})\): Every denumerable family of non-empty finite sets has a choice function. |
| 288-n: | If \(n\in\omega-\{0,1\}\), \(C(\aleph_0,n)\): Every denumerable set of \(n\)-element sets has a choice function. |
