We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:
| Implication | Reference |
|---|---|
| 68 \(\Rightarrow\) 62 |
Subgroups of a free group and the axiom of choice, Howard, P. 1985, J. Symbolic Logic |
| 62 \(\Rightarrow\) 61 | clear |
| 61 \(\Rightarrow\) 46-K | clear |
| 46-K \(\Rightarrow\) 120-K | clear |
Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
|---|---|
| 68: | Nielsen-Schreier Theorem: Every subgroup of a free group is free. Jech [1973b], p 12. |
| 62: | \(C(\infty,< \aleph_{0})\): Every set of non-empty finite sets has a choice function. |
| 61: | \((\forall n\in\omega, n\ge 2\))\((C(\infty,n))\): For each \(n\in\omega\), \(n\ge 2\), every set of \(n\) element sets has a choice function. |
| 46-K: | If \(K\) is a finite subset of \(\omega-\{0,1\}\), \(C(\infty,K)\): For every \(n\in K\), every set of \(n\)-element sets has a choice function. |
| 120-K: | If \(K\subseteq\omega-\{0,1\}\), \(C(LO,K)\): Every linearly ordered set of non-empty sets each of whose cardinality is in \(K\) has a choice function. |
