Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

44 \(\Rightarrow\) 17 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
44 \(\Rightarrow\) 39	The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 120 theorem 8.1
39 \(\Rightarrow\) 8	clear
8 \(\Rightarrow\) 9	Was sind und was sollen die Zollen?, Dedekind, [1888]
9 \(\Rightarrow\) 17	The independence of Ramsey's theorem, Kleinberg, E.M. 1969, J. Symbolic Logic

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
44:	\(DC(\aleph _{1})\): Given a relation \(R\) such that for every subset \(Y\) of a set \(X\) with \(\|Y\| < \aleph_{1}\) there is an \(x \in X\) with \(Y \mathrel R x\), then there is a function \(f: \aleph_{1} \rightarrow X\) such that \((\forall\beta < \aleph_{1}) (\{f(\gamma ): \gamma < b \} \mathrel R f(\beta))\).
39:	\(C(\aleph_{1},\infty)\): Every set \(A\) of non-empty sets such that \(\vert A\vert = \aleph_{1}\) has a choice function. Moore, G. [1982], p. 202.
8:	\(C(\aleph_{0},\infty)\):
9:	Finite \(\Leftrightarrow\) Dedekind finite: \(W_{\aleph_{0}}\) Jech [1973b]: \(E(I,IV)\) Howard/Yorke [1989]): Every Dedekind finite set is finite.
17:	Ramsey's Theorem I: If \(A\) is an infinite set and the family of all 2 element subsets of \(A\) is partitioned into 2 sets \(X\) and \(Y\), then there is an infinite subset \(B\subseteq A\) such that all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(X\) or all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(Y\). (Also, see Form 325.), Jech [1973b], p 164 prob 11.20.
