Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

7 \(\Rightarrow\) 132 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
7 \(\Rightarrow\) 9	On the existence of large sets of Dedekind cardinals, Tarski, A. 1965, Notices Amer. Math. Soc. The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 161 problem 11.6
9 \(\Rightarrow\) 17	The independence of Ramsey's theorem, Kleinberg, E.M. 1969, J. Symbolic Logic
17 \(\Rightarrow\) 132	Amorphe Potenzen kompakter Raume, Brunner, N. 1984b, Arch. Math. Logik Grundlagenforschung

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
7:	There is no infinite decreasing sequence of cardinals.
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.
132:	\(PC(\infty, <\aleph_0,\infty)\): Every infinite family of finite sets has an infinite subfamily with a choice function.
