Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

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

192 \(\Rightarrow\) 43	Injectivity, projectivity and the axiom of choice, Blass, A. 1979, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.
43 \(\Rightarrow\) 8	clear
8 \(\Rightarrow\) 9	Was sind und was sollen die Zollen?, Dedekind, [1888]

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
192:	\(EP\) sets: For every set \(A\) there is a projective set \(X\) and a function from \(X\) onto \(A\).
43:	\(DC(\omega)\) (DC), Principle of Dependent Choices: If \(S\) is a relation on a non-empty set \(A\) and \((\forall x\in A) (\exists y\in A)(x S y)\) then there is a sequence \(a(0), a(1), a(2), \ldots\) of elements of \(A\) such that \((\forall n\in\omega)(a(n)\mathrel S a(n+1))\). See Tarski [1948], p 96, Levy [1964], p. 136.
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.
132:	\(PC(\infty, <\aleph_0,\infty)\): Every infinite family of finite sets has an infinite subfamily with a choice function.
