Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

101 \(\Rightarrow\) 249 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
101 \(\Rightarrow\) 40	On some weak forms of the axiom of choice in set theory, Pelc, A. 1978, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. S'er. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys.
40 \(\Rightarrow\) 39	clear
39 \(\Rightarrow\) 8	clear
8 \(\Rightarrow\) 9	Was sind und was sollen die Zollen?, Dedekind, [1888]
9 \(\Rightarrow\) 10	Zermelo's Axiom of Choice, Moore, 1982, 322
10 \(\Rightarrow\) 249

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
101:	Partition Principle: If \(S\) is a partition of \(M\), then \(S \precsim M\).
40:	\(C(WO,\infty)\): Every well orderable set of non-empty sets has a choice function. Moore, G. [1982], p 325.
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.
10:	\(C(\aleph_{0},< \aleph_{0})\): Every denumerable family of non-empty finite sets has a choice function.
249:	If \(T\) is an infinite tree in which every element has exactly 2 immediate successors then \(T\) has an infinite branch.
