We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:
| Implication | Reference |
|---|---|
| 66 \(\Rightarrow\) 67 |
Existence of a basis implies the axiom of choice, Blass, A. 1984a, Contemporary Mathematics |
| 67 \(\Rightarrow\) 76 | clear |
Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
|---|---|
| 66: | Every vector space over a field has a basis. |
| 67: | \(MC(\infty,\infty)\) \((MC)\), The Axiom of Multiple Choice: For every set \(M\) of non-empty sets there is a function \(f\) such that \((\forall x\in M)(\emptyset\neq f(x)\subseteq x\) and \(f(x)\) is finite). |
| 76: | \(MC_\omega(\infty,\infty)\) (\(\omega\)-MC): For every family \(X\) of pairwise disjoint non-empty sets, there is a function \(f\) such that for each \(x\in X\), f(x) is a non-empty countable subset of \(x\). |
