Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

345 \(\Rightarrow\) 155 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
345:	Rasiowa-Sikorski Axiom: If \((B,\land,\lor)\) is a Boolean algebra, \(a\) is a non-zero element of \(B\), and \(\{X_n: n\in\omega\}\) is a denumerable set of subsets of \(B\) then there is a maximal filter \(F\) of \(B\) such that \(a\in F\) and for each \(n\in\omega\), if \(X_n\subseteq F\) and \(\bigwedge X_n\) exists then \(\bigwedge X_n \in F\).
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.
78:	Urysohn's Lemma: If \(A\) and \(B\) are disjoint closed sets in a normal space \(S\), then there is a continuous \(f:S\rightarrow [0,1]\) which is 1 everywhere in \(A\) and 0 everywhere in \(B\). Urysohn [1925], pp 290-292.
155:	\(LC\): There are no non-trivial Läuchli continua. (A Läuchli continuum is a strongly connected continuum. Continuum \(\equiv\) compact, connected, Hausdorff space; and strongly connected \(\equiv\) every continuous real valued function is constant.)
