Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

407 \(\Rightarrow\) 77 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
407 \(\Rightarrow\) 43	clear
43 \(\Rightarrow\) 77	The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 23

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
407:	Let \(B\) be a Boolean algebra, \(b\) a non-zero element of \(B\) and \(\{A_i: i\in\omega\}\) a sequence of subsets of \(B\) such that for each \(i\in\omega\), \(A_i\) has a supremum \(a_i\). Then there exists an ultrafilter \(D\) in \(B\) such that \(b\in D\) and, for each \(i\in\omega\), if \(a_i\in D\), then \(D\cap\ A_i\neq\emptyset\).
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.
77:	A linear ordering of a set \(P\) is a well ordering if and only if \(P\) has no infinite descending sequences. Jech [1973b], p 23.
